  NARC SPRINT CARS HEAD TO HANFORD FOR MORRIE WILLIAMS MEMORIAL TWIN 20-LAP FEATURES

  (10/3/22) Sacramento, CA… It's been a long two and a half months, but at long last the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars return to action this Saturday, October 8th at Hanford's Keller Auto Speedway for the Morrie Williams Memorial. The race will serve as number 16 on the NARC calendar and the second of three at Keller Auto Speedway this season. In store for Saturday is a unique twist. Instead of one 30-lap Fujitsu Feature to conclude the program, drivers will partake in two 20-lap, $3,000 to win features with the second being lined up based on a complete invert of the first's finish. The first feature will be set by NARC's standard format. The driver who has the best overall performance across the two main events will earn an extra $1,000 as the Morrie Williams Memorial champion. Overall, there is more than $30,000 up for grabs. The reason for the additional main event with the top finishers heading to the back of the second is to honor the man that the race is named for, Morrie Williams. One of the most revered car owners of the West Coast, Williams fielded the iconic No. 0 sprinter for many years and saw some of the sport's top talent take his machine to victory lane before he sadly passed in 2019. The late legend enjoyed formats that emphasized drivers having to work their way forward, so the race in his honor provides just that in the second feature. Williams' zero car helped pave the path to a wildly successful career for one driver in particular, Jonathan Allard, and "JA" has reunited with the Williams crew this year and will have the honor of driving the car on Saturday with longtime team crew chief, Ashley Smith, on the wrenches. "It's quite a team bond with Ashley and the whole family with Katie and Morrie," Allard said. "And now we've brought Dalton's (Landscaping) on board, and they're part of my racing family down in New Zealand, so it's quite special to bring the two groups together and have them a part of this." Championship Chase As the west coast's premier 410 sprint car series hits the home stretch, Fresno's Dominic Scelzi continues to lead the standings in his bid for back to back titles. Colfax's Willie Croft sits second in points still with a realistic shot at his first NARC championship just 34 markers behind Scelzi. Behind the top-two it's 2017 champ Bud Kaeding (-59 points behind the lead) in third, Mitchell Faccinto (-79) in fourth, and 16-year-old Max Mittry (-105) completing the top-five. Who to Watch With Jonathan Allard returning to California aboard the Williams No. 0, he'll undoubtedly be hungry with hopes of honoring Morrie with a trip to victory lane. The Chico native owns a trio of NARC wins at Keller Auto Speedway, all three of which he earned in Williams' car. As Dominic Scelzi continues to chase his second consecutive championship, he's heading to perhaps the ideal track to contribute to that effort. Keller Auto Speedway is the winningest track on Scelzi's NARC resumé with four of his 19 series triumphs coming at the 3/8ths mile. The Scelzi Motorsports driver has won half of the past six NARC races there including May's Peter Murphy Classic. One of the hometown heroes with a strong chance at victory this Saturday will be Hanford's own Mitchell Faccinto. The Tarlton Motorsports pilot is still seeking his first NARC victory of 2022, and fortunately for him, two of his three career series wins were at his home track. The 30-year-old claimed both the 2017 & 2018 editions of the Cotton Classic and looks to make it a trio of Keller Auto Speedway NARC triumphs this weekend. Two young guns will all be eying their first career NARC wins and have a solid chance in Hanford. Leading series Rookie of the Year candidate, Redding's Max Mittry, finished a season-best 6th in May at Keller Auto Speedway. Just last weekend Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr. notched his first every sprint car victory, and one of his three career NARC top-fives came last October in Hanford. Other drivers expected to compete include Campbell's Bud Kaeding, Benicia's Billy Aton, Clovis' Corey Day, Fremont's Shane Golobic, Aromas' Justin Sanders, Hanford's D.J. Netto, Roseville's Colby Copeland, and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, eight-lap heat races, a six-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, a Starr Property Management Semi if necessary, and the pair of 20-lap Fujitsu Features. After the conclusion of the first feature, drivers are to park in the infield to prepare for the second. Driving to the pits will result in starting in the back of the second feature regardless of finish in the first. No tire changes are permitted between the first and second feature. General Admission tickets for the Morrie Williams Memorial are $20. Seniors (ages 62+) and Juniors (ages 7-17) will be admitted for just $15.

  PROMISING NIGHT ENDS EARLY FOR BRODY ROA AT VENTURA

  (Cypress, CA, September 30, 2022) After winning the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway on August 27th, Brody Roa, and the May Motorsports #8M team had high hopes for a great night on the same oval last Saturday. However, the team's effort was cut short due to mechanical ills before the main event. 308013351_630008442171043_2513047703648094291_n.jpg The fresh graphics on the May Motorsports #8M. May Motorsports photo. Sporting some sparkling new graphics, the #8M was ready for another successful night at the track that is located a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean. Things started off in fine fashion when Garden Grove, California-based Roa steered the car to the third fastest time in qualifying with a lap of 12.977. The veteran driver started last in his heat race, weaved his way through the field, and scored the win. However, that was his last hurrah of the night. An engine issue had reared its ugly head and rather than cause extensive and expensive damage, the team parked the car for the night. With the cancellation of this Saturday's race at Perris Auto Speedway, Roa will be spending time with his wife Tailor and their daughter Addison. He will be back in his #91R next Saturday at the NARC King of the West Twin 25's at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway. If you wish to hear Roa's recent appearance on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, KC Keen Concrete, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  (Torrance, CA, October 2, 2022) For the first time in its 28-season history, the California Lightning Sprint Car Series will be racing at the Mohave Valley Raceway this Saturday night, October 8th. The race on the fast 1/3 mile banked clay oval will be co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Cars.

PAS 9_17_22=41=LiteSpt=3215-3#AF48.jpg San Diego's A.J. Bender will be looking for his fourth lightning win of the year Saturday at Mohave Valley. Doug Allen Photo. Going into the race, talented Santa Barbara teenager David Gasper carries an 80-point lead in the championship standings. After a slow start to the 2022 campaign, the defending series champion and last year's "Rookie of the Year," has won seven of the last 15 races. Included in those victories is a win at the last series race in Bakersfield two weeks ago and a four-race winning streak that stretched from early June through late July. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who scored his lone win of the year on May 21st at Ventura, is second in the championship standings. Camarillo's Cody Nigh and CHP officer Jeff "Ponch" Dyer of Yucca Valley, are ranked third and fourth and are only separated by two points. They are both seeking their first victories in 2022.

  Larson Drives to First Career Hillbilly Hundred

  MIDDLEBOURNE, W.Va. (September 29, 2022) - The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson held off three different challengers to win the 54th running of the Hillbilly Hundred on Thursday night at the Tyler County Speedway. Larson earned $30,000 for his third career Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory in the oldest dirt late model racing crown jewel event in the country. Brandon Sheppard finished in second followed by Garrett Alberson, Tim McCreadie, and Josh Richards. Larson, who won his first-ever dirt late model event at Port Royal Speedway in 2020 in only his second start saw, Sheppard, Alberson, and Garrett Smith all take shots at him during the race. However, the 30-year-old California native was credited with leading all 100 laps despite be scored dead-even at the stripe three times during the race. With the win Larson becomes the 20th different driver to win a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race this season. "That might be one of the luckiest races I have ever had. The cautions just fell at exactly the right times when I needed them to. You know every time I started seeing their nose to my inside the caution would come out. I wasn't any good running around the bottom, so I knew I was in trouble. The caution would come out and it would take me about 10 laps to catch traffic. There were laps where I felt like I could get my angles right in traffic and get my wheels spinning underneath me. Most laps if I moved down below the banking I was shoving." Sheppard, who ran in second for most of the race, lined up right behind Larson on a restart with seven laps to go and tried the low line to pass Larson but came up one car length short of his first Hillbilly Hundred win. "These bullrings produce the best racing that's for sure. The track was awesome tonight. With the rain they had, they worked on it all day long and gave us a great racing surface. Congratulations to Kyle he did a heck of a job there. We were right there several times. He [Larson] had good speed up there running up on the banking. I couldn't make anything happen, I thought I was going to in lapped traffic, but the caution would keep coming out. He did a really good job." Alberson, the current O'Reilly Auto Parts top rookie in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series came close to the biggest win of his career. "I wanted to win that thing bad. I really thought we had a shot there for a minute. I got one good run on him [Larson] off of four. I felt like that was my one shot. I felt pretty good, lapped traffic I would get out a little wider. I was a little tight to get down there in three and four. That was a heck of a race this place is elbows up for sure." The winner's Rumley Enterprises, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by FloRacing, HendrickCars.com, Bilstein Shocks, D&E Marine, Winning Edge Carburetion, Hot Rod Septic Treatment, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, and Senior Life Insurance. Completing the top ten were Mike Marlar, Michael Brown, Earl Pearson Jr., Hudson O'Neal, and Colton Burdette.

  USRA Nationals Spotlight: Shadren Turner enjoys dream season in B-Mod championship chase

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 28, 2022) - Reviewing his 2022 results before the upcoming biggest week of the season, the 9th annual Summit USRA Nationals, Shadren Turner has plenty to feel good about regardless of what happens the rest of the way. "It's been amazing, really," Turner said of 28 feature victories and a second-place standing in USRA B-Mod national points headed into the week-long extravaganza that begins with practice on Monday at Lucas Oil Speedway. Turner, a 24-year-old from St. Joseph, is 49 points behind Joe Chisholm of Osage, Iowa. It's easily been Turner's best season to date, more than double his previous season best of 11 feature wins in 2021. "We've won at 11 different tracks this year. That's where we have our most fun, seeing different places and enjoying different competition every week," Turner said. Turner credits his success to an affiliation with car owner Troy Whitt and a new J2 Race car the team debuted this year. The consistency has been phenomenal, with 38 top-five finishes in 59 events. "This is my first full year of driving for Troy Whitt. He owns everything and his son, Jeffrey Whitt and his wife, Lori Whitt, and their nephew Andrew Long make up a team with me and my dad," Turner said. "They do all the work and put me in really, really good equipment. "I'm lucky this year to just show up and drive the absolute best stuff possible. They've gone above and beyond. The combination of having some really good car owners like them and we have a J2 Race Car built by Kris and Tony Jackson. That has been amazing as well. "That combination has helped me have a complete dream season that I never would have imagined. It's definitely been awesome." Turner said he got to know Troy Whitt the last couple of years through his relationship with Kris Jackson. When Whitt made it known he was looking for a quality driver to put in his car, Jackson got in touch with Turner and recommended he pursue the opportunity. The rest, as they say, has been history. Ironically, some of Turner's toughest competition has been Jackson when the two have been at common events. "It's tough to beat Kris, no matter what," Turner said. "But one thing about Kris that I really admire about him, I truly think he wants as much success for his customers as for himself. We've been lucky enough to be able to beat him a few times this year. Obviously he's beat us, like he has everybody else. "We work really good together. Whoever does better between us or any of his other customers, he seems to be really happy and we are too if somebody from the J2 team can get up there and win. I don't think I would be running as good as Kris, or being competitive with him, if it wasn't for Kris himself. He's been a huge part of my success." Turner began racing as a five-year-old in go-karts. He got into his first B-Mod at the age of 13 and has continued to evolve from there. He credits his dad, Mark Turner, for putting him on the early road to success. Mark Turner drove Modifieds for a brief time when Shadren was young. "He only raced 3-5 years," Turner said. "That's where I fell in love with it, being there with him. Whenever I became old enough to get into go-karts, dad stopped racing himself and got me going. He's definitely sacrificed a lot over the years to let me race. "My first year (in B-Mods) was at Valley Speedway, the only track at the time that would allow me to race at 13. My closest tracks are Lakeside and I-35. Those two are where I have the most laps. It kind of progressed from where we stayed around those two places the first few years and after that did a little more traveling. "Now that we have (the Whitts), I've been able to go all kinds of places." Whether or not he's able to overtake Chisholm in the USRA championship battle, Turner said winning the USRA Nationals final-night feature would be a career highlight if they can make it happen. The team already has one feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, on June 11. "We've won some pretty big races in our eyes this year, but like anything you want to keep doing bigger and bigger things," Turner said. "To win the USRA Nationals would be the biggest win of my career, if we could pull that off." Team sponsors include 54th St. Grill & Bar, Milliken's Lawn and Landscaping, Chip Harris Heating & Cooling, Champion Oil, J2 Race Car, KS Engineering, Cameron Glass and St. Joe Auto Fabric. The Summit USRA Nationals will feature action in eight different divisions under the United States Racing Association banner. The marathon event begins its six-night run on Monday with a practice night from 6-10 p.m. Racing in some, but not all of the classes, will begin the following night and go through the big finale on the final night. The Summit Shootout also returns this year and will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and feature USRA track champions and Summit Shootout qualifying race winners to compete in this one-of-a-kind battle for Modified, Stock Car, B-Mod and Hobby Stock competitors.

  GASPER INCREASES HIS LEADS IN THE CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SERIES AND CIVIL WAR SERIES

  (Torrance, CA, September 28, 2022) In 2021, rookie driver David Gasper made a late-season rush to win the California Lightning Sprint Car Series and Civil War Series titles. In 2022, the Santa Barbara, California racer is starting to pull away from the competition in both series as the season hits the home stretch. Last Saturday at the Bakersfield Speedway, the teenage star scored his series-leading seventh win of the year. 307464292_522045143061459_638481491645823791_n.jpg Seven-time 2022 winner David Gasper (center) poses withrunner-upp Bobby Michnowicz (right) and third-place Jeff Dyer at Bakersfield. CLS photo. A fine field of 24 cars showed up for the fourth of five races in the Civil War Series and the first on CLS's home turf. The fans got an early glimpse of what was going to happen in the main event when the fastest three cars in qualifying - Gasper, Bobby Michnowicz, and Jeff Dyer - later finished in the top three spots in the 25-lap main event. Gasper was the quickest at 13.825. Michnowicz, who lives in Oak Hills, was second fastest at 13.937 and Yucca Valley's Dyer clocked in third at 13.987. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who is second to Gasper in both CLS and Civil War points, captured Extreme Muffler Heat #1 ahead of Glendora rookie Will Browne and Gasper. That was the only time Gasper did not lead all night. BCRA regular Dakota Albright of Waterford, who is getting married this week, won the Yoshimura R & D second heat race by beating Michnowicz and Lakewood's Aiden Lange to the stripe. The third eight lapper, which was sponsored by Jake Swanson Shock Technology, went to BCRA's Greg Dennett. Camarillo's Gage Cheek was second behind the Livermore driver with three-time CLS champion Jarrett Kramer of Spring Valley third. Gasper, in his familiar blue #18 that is sponsored by Kittle Motorsports/Certified Construction/Rattlesnake Ridge/Valley Precision Products/Martin Roofing/B2 Design/Hyper Race Cars/Saldana Race Products #18, sat on the pole for the main event. Indio's James Turnbull, who was making his second start in the potent Mike Schweitzer #41, was alongside. The second row was made up of teammates Kramer and Michnowicz with Dyer and Browne in row three. Gasper got the jump on the field as they came down to take the green flag to start the race. Turnbull got sideways on the front chute and before he could recover had slipped back to sixth. Kramer staffed the second-place spot with Albright third at the end of the first circuit. Things went fast for two laps before a yellow came out on lap three when Chino's Pat Kelly slid to a stop on the front straight. For the restart, it was Gasper, Kramer, Albright, Michnowicz, and Dyer. Gasper got a great restart and put some distance between himself and second-place Kramer. While the field was mostly comprised of bottom feeders, veteran Michnowicz was running the top. That paid big dividends on lap five when he blew by Albright and Kramer in one corner to go from fourth to second. Two laps later the festivities came to a screeching halt again when Citrus Heights driver Scott Kinney slowed on the front straightaway bringing out another yellow flag. The race restarted with 20-laps to go and Michnowicz was planted firmly on Gasper's rear end. Albright was in third, with Kramer in fourth and Dyer in fifth. Gasper and Michnowicz pulled away from the field on the restart and Dyer quickly went from fifth to third. However, he was nearly a half straight behind the lead duo. Michnowicz dove to the inside in turn three on lap seven and nearly pulled off the slider but Gasper was more than equal to that challenge and pulled away. While watching Michnowicz try to catch and pass Gasper was exciting, the best battle on the track featured Dyer, Albright, and Kramer. They were having a literal war for third. However, like earlier, another yellow flag slowed the proceedings on lap 12. By that time, Gasper had a half-straight advantage over Michnowicz and was just about to encounter lapped traffic. This time when the race restarted, Michnowicz threw it hard in turn one and got a great run down the back chute. He dove to the inside in turn three and threw a big slider on Gasper for the lead. However, he carried so much momentum into the corner, he slid to the top coming off four, and got into the fluff. That allowed Gasper to dive underneath and reclaim his lofty position at the head of the pack. The loss of momentum saw Gasper pull away. It also allowed Dyer to dive to the inside of Michnowicz and pull even with him going into turn one on the next go around. Michnowicz, still on the wide line, fought off the advances and maintained second. Gasper had built up a good size lead, but Michnowicz would not give in. He continued to terrorize his right rear tire in an effort to catch back up to the leader. If he was going to have a chance, he was probably going to need a favor from lapped traffic. That scenario began to play out at the start of lap 18 when Gasper caught the first lapper. The lappers all cooperated with the leader and kept it low allowing Gasper to maintain a half-straight lead. While it seemed cut and dried that Gasper was going to snag the win, suddenly Dyer came calling on Michnowicz. He pulled to the inside in turn one on the 24th lap and momentarily poked his nose ahead of the five-time champion. However, Michnowicz got a nice drive off two and fended off his pursuer. It was too late for Michnowicz to take another shot at the leader who carried a half-straight lead all the way to the checkers. Michnowicz placed second with Dyer, Kramer, and Albright rounding out the top five. The Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension/Hepfner Racing Hard Charger award went to Elk Grove's Matt Land who started 21st and finished eighth. With the season quickly dwindling down, Gasper will take a comfortable 80-point lead over Greco in the championship standings when the CLS goes to the Mohave Valley Raceway for a show that is being co-sanctioned by the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series on October 8th. Camarillo's Cody Nigh is third but is only two points ahead of Dyer. Michnowicz rounds out the top five. Browne reclaimed the lead in the Rookie of the Year battle and will lead Fillmore's Connor Speir by 24-points going into the race in the "Copper State." Gasper's chances of winning the "Civil War Series" for the second consecutive year look strong, He will have a 63-point lead heading into the finale at Bakersfield on November 15th. Michnowicz, Browne, and Nigh make up third through fifth in the CWS. West Evens Motorsports Qualifying: 1. David Gasper, 13.825; 2. Bobby Michnowicz, 13.937; 3. Jeff Dyer, 13.987; 4.

  O'Neal Defends Home Turf Night Before the Jackson 100 Victory

  BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (September 24, 2022) - Hudson O'Neal raced to the lead at the start of the 40-lap Night Before the Jackson A-Main and never looked back. The $10,000-to-win race that was postponed from Friday after several hours of light rain at the Brownstown Speedway. Josh Rice tried to track down O'Neal after a caution came out with five laps remaining but came up short as he settled for second. Daulton Wilson finished in third followed by Mike Marlar and Spencer Hughes. Tim McCreadie ran second to O'Neal for the first nine laps of the race until Wilson took over the runner-up position. Wilson held the second spot until Rice, who started sixth, passed him on lap 28. O'Neal, the winner of the track's most prestigious race, the Jackson 100, in 2019, climbed from his car to the partisan cheers from the track his family has raced at for over 30 years. "It's pretty cool to be back in Victory Lane here at Brownstown. I knew coming in we had a pretty good hot rod for today. I knew we had a good shot. I needed to get the lead and get out front because I didn't know exactly what the track was going to go. It ended up holding some moisture. I know it was top dominant, but it raced pretty good considering we are under the sun. They did a good job with the racetrack. We will go back and get ready for that 20 grand here later tonight." Rice, who has felt right at home at Brownstown in recent years, came home 1.174 seconds behind the winner at the finish. "I got to him there, he would have had to mess up for me to get by him. He was so darned good. It's cool to see him run so good here. It was such a thin line up there. He's got it. I watched him qualify yesterday and told him you're crazy for running up like he was." Wilson made a dive-bomb for the lead on O'Neal for the top spot after a restart before falling back to third at the finish. "We got stuck there around the top. I had to mix it up a little and went to the bottom on that one restart. We were either going to win or run third. I hope it was pretty show for the fans. We gambled a little bit on tires, and it worked out." The winner's Roger Sellers-owned, Double Down Motorsports, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Lucas Oil Products, Smoky Mountain Speedway, WR1 Sim Chassis, VP Race Fuels, Integra Racing Shocks, Dynamic Drivelines, and New Era Excavation. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Brandon Sheppard, Earl Pearson Jr., Garrett Alberson, and Tyler Erb. The action at Brownstown Speedway on Saturday night will continue with the regularly schedule 43rd Annual Jackson 100. Another complete show of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Mains is on tap. Saturday's 43rd Annual Jackson 100 will be highlighted by a 100-lap, $20,000-to-win finale for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

  "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON FINISHES 14TH IN PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY RETURN AND BREAKS INTO THE TOP 20 IN POINTS

  (Warner Springs, CA, September 24, 2022) Shaking off the 410 cobwebs after nearly five months out of action, "Shugah" Shane Sexton returned to USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series competition last Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. The affable driver started 19th in the 30-lap main event and drove forward for a 14th-place finish. Driving a new GAS Chassis, Sexton timed in with a lap of 17.187 and contested the third 10-lap heat race. After a disappointing seventh-place finish in the heat, the Warner Springs, California driver lined up in the 19th position to start the 30-lap main event. He steered clear of all the tangles happening on the track and moved forward throughout the race. When Steve Russell's checkered flag brought the proceedings to a halt at the end of the 30th lap, "Shugah" was all the way up to 14th. Moving forward in the race also propelled Sexton higher up in the series championship point standings. To be exact, he jumped from 21st to 19th position heading into the next race at Arizona's Mohave Valley Raceway on October 8th. Sexton's only other appearance at the track which is located a few minutes from the Colorado River and only 20 minutes from Laughlin, was a prosperous one. After qualifying 22nd fastest and placing eighth in his heat on April 22nd, Sexton started 21st in the main and advanced nine positions to finish 12th on the racy 1/3 mile oval. Sexton was due to be back on the track on October 1st at Perris with the USAC/CRA Series but that race has been canceled. As previously mentioned, he will return to action at Mohave Valley. The young driver will then wrap up his 410 sprint car season with five races in nine days. The first two dates are at the 55th Annual Chapman Chevrolet of Yuma Western World Championship at Arizona's Cocopah Speedway on October 28th and 29th. That will be followed by the 26th Annual Heimark Anheuser Busch Budweiser Oval Nationals at Perris Auto Speedway on November 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing. If you would like to be a part of this fun, upcoming team and get exposure not only at the tracks but around the world on Flo Racing, please contact Shane Sexton at mailto:Shanesexton7@gmail.com or (619) 362-5921.

  BRODY ROA TAKES THIRD IN PERRIS USAC/CRA RACE - RACING IN USAC WEST COAST SERIES THIS WEEK

  (Cypress, CA, September 22, 2022) Brody Roa rebounded from a disastrous USAC/CRA Sprint Car race at Perris Auto Speedway in August to finish third in the Glenn Howard Memorial last Saturday night. This Saturday he will journey north to team up with Jayson May in the USAC West Coast Series race at the Ventura Raceway. 297879254_2204237209743457_8079382424926505894_n.jpg Brody Roa will be trying to steer Jason May's #8M to the win Saturday at Ventura. Lance Jennings photo. After two weeks of scorching heat, race teams and fans were greeted by temperatures in the mid-80s for Saturday's show. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove California, was one of 24 USAC/CRA Sprint Car drivers on hand for the show. Stopping the clocks at 16.540, the 31-year-old veteran racer was eighth fastest on the night. That is not the ideal place to qualify. If the seven cars who qualified faster than him all finished in the top four in their heat race, that would mean the best Roa could start in the main event would be eighth. However, things worked out perfectly. He won his heat race and two cars who qualified faster than he finished, fifth or worse. That meant Roa would be on the pole for the 30-lap main event. Before he got to that main event, Roa contested a 10-lap heat race. Starting on the outside of row 2, he led the last 6 laps for his fourth heat win of the year in the series. "Seems like we are always pretty good in heat races here this year," the popular driver told the crowd after his win. "We are trying something a lot different with the car tonight. We have to work on it a little bit for the feature. Cody (Cody Williams who was leading Roa in the heat before dropping out), was definitely way better. He would have smoked us if he didn't break or whatever happened. So, we have to work on it a little bit for the feature and we will be all right." Whatever crew chief Zac Bozanich and the crew worked on before the main, it worked out well. As soon as the race started, Roa burst into the lead. He proceeded to set the early pace and led the first nine laps before relinquishing the top spot. The friendly driver stayed close to the leader. He was second after a restart with a couple of laps to go, but a small bobble coming off turn two cost him and he dropped to third. He stayed on the throttle and crossed the finish line only two lengths behind the second-place car. It was his fifth USAC/CRA podium in only 10 races this year. Two of the podiums, Perris in June and Santa Maria in August, were wins. "We brought a really different package tonight on the car," Roa said at the end of the race. "We worked on it all night. It needs a few tweaks on it. We will take it and learn from it. It was worth trying something as we are not point racing. We are not worried about it if we run third. Winning would have been nice and the paycheck is a little bit better. We come to win and we also come to get better. Trying things is what we need to do to do that. Thanks to all my guys. My dad, Zach, Joe, Uncle B, Zach's mom Tracey, my wife and daughter, she turns two tomorrow. That is big and exciting. I wish I could have brought her a trophy home. We will go have a party tomorrow and enjoy the weekend." This Saturday, September 24th, Roa will be back in Jayson May's #8M for the USAC West Coast Series race at Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. Thus far in 2022, Roa has made two appearances at Ventura. On June 11th he placed second in the USAC/CRA main and on August 27th, he won the West Coast Series main in May's car. Three weeks before that, he drove May's car, which is a 360, to the win in the USAC/CRA 410 main event at the Santa Maria Raceway. For fans who would like to attend Saturday's race to see Roa driving the #8M, spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. The track is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001). The website is http://venturaraceway.com/ and the office phone number is (805) 648-RACE. Adult tickets are $22.00. Seniors 60 and over, military with id, and students with id get in for $18.00. Children 12 and under are free when they are accompanied by an adult. If you wish to hear Roa's recent appearance on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  Purse Increase Elevates 42nd Annual Dirt Track World Championship

  BATAVIA, Ohio (September 21, 2022) - Renowned event promoter Carl Short and Portsmouth Raceway Park have unveiled an increased purse structure for the 42nd Annual General Tire Dirt Track World Championship presented by Optima Batteries. The historic event, which set the foundation for high paying crown jewel dirt late model events, will see a more than $30,000 increase in the overall weekend purse. This brings the grand total for the two-day Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event to $238,950. Over $23,000 has been invested into Saturday night's main event - allowing for increases to every position from 4th through 26th. The tenth-place finisher in the 100-lap finale will now pay $4,000, an increase of $1,500 from 2021. Each Dirt Track World Championship starter will now earn a minimum of $2,500, up from $2,000 a year ago. The Jim Dunn Memorial Non-Qualifiers race has also seen a significant purse increase from previous years. The winner of the Jim Dunn Memorial Non-Qualifier will have the choice of taking home $3,000 or starting shotgun on the field of the 42nd Annual General Tire Dirt Track World Championship presented by Optima Batteries. Positions 2nd through 26th in the Jim Dunn Memorial Non-Qualifier have been increased, including a minimum starting pay of $500.

  Late Race Pass Nets Davenport First Career Knoxville Late Model Nationals

  KNOXVILLE, IA (September 18, 2022) - Jonathan Davenport took the lead with two laps to go from Tyler Bruening and went on to win the 18th running of the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals on Sunday afternoon. The victory was Davenport's first in the only Late Model event at the famed Knoxville Raceway. Bruening, an Iowa native, led from lap 10 to lap 47 when Davenport dove under him to take the top spot, denying him his first career crown jewel victory in heart-breaking fashion. Bruening took home $25,000 for his second-place finish. Brandon Sheppard was third at the end as he now sits just 100-points behind in the championship chase as leader Tim McCreadie finished 25th after completing just 13 laps. Ricky Thornton Jr. was fourth in the final rundown and Earl Pearson Jr. completed the top five drivers. Davenport took the lead early with Bobby Pierce rolling into the second spot. Pierce trailed Davenport for the first eight laps of the race until he took the lead on lap nine. With nine laps complete a caution for Justin Zeitner slowed the field. During the caution period Pierce headed to the hot pit with issues that ultimately ended his night. On the restart, Bruening vaulted to the lead becoming the third different leader of the race in the first ten laps. It was a tightly contested race between Bruening, Pearson, and Davenport until a pair of cautions on laps 19 and 21 kept the field bunched up. At the halfway mark it was still Bruening showing the way. With the last 29 laps going caution-free it appeared Bruening was within reach of the biggest win of his career. As the laps wound down, Davenport had broken away from a battle with Pearson that had gone on for several laps between the two veteran drivers. Bruening had a little more than a two-second lead that started to slip away as Davenport to close the gap on the top side. Davenport was within striking distance with 47 laps complete and then heading into turn number one he dove underneath Bruening to take the lead a lap later. Davenport, who won for the 21st time overall this season, said: "I wish I could have said that I was planning for that. I was just too tight there. I didn't have the best race car by far. I made a mistake first in lapped traffic I thought I might get rolled on the outside and let Bobby around me so I chose the bottom and let Tyler [Bruening] around me. I was trying to race Earl [Pearson Jr.] as clean as I could there, but I knew I had to get by him. I got a big run on Tyler there one time getting into one. I could have blasted on him, but I knew this could be his first crown jewel, so I didn't want to take it away from him like that." In his postrace interview, Bruening elaborated on coming so close to winning the biggest race for Late Models in his home state. "I needed two less laps I guess to hold him off. I don't know. When you are out front for all those laps it's pretty tough to move out of your line that's worked the whole race. I didn't know how close he was until it was too late there getting off of four. I didn't know how high I could go if all the way up there would do it. It was fun to run up front. We just go beat by the best in the world right now." Sheppard, who started 11th, charged through the field to round out the podium. "It feels good to run well in this race. I have had a lot of good runs here, so I expected to run good to a certain extent. We had a good car there. Man, I wish it was more laps now because I think we were getting better there at the end. It was unfortunate for Timmy [McCreadie], but we all have bad luck sometimes, that's part of the game. He still has a pretty good lead on us, so we still have alot of work to do." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers-owned, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Ricky Weiss, Shane Clanton, Spencer Hughes, Brandon Overton, and Kyle Strickler.

  Johnson, Randall take home feature victories in Hockett-McMillin Memorial finales at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 17, 2022) - An old pro and a youngster celebrated feature victories Saturday night at the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. The veteran was Wayne Johnson, a two-time Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint champion who picked up his second Hockett-McMillin triumph in the winged portion of the open-wheel major. Earlier, 18-year-old Chase Randall drove to victory in the POWRi War Sprint feature. The victories, in front of a big crowd on the finale of the three-night event, were memorable for both drivers. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Eight-starting Johnson, of Oklahoma City, took the lead on lap 25 and held it the rest of the way in the 40-lap ASCS feature to capture his second Hockett-McMillin Memorial. Johnson outdistanced runner-up Blake Hahn to earn the $10,000 prize. "He's like a second dad to me," an emotional Johnson said in victory lane, standing next to Jack Hockett, Jesse's father. "I loved the boy. Jesse was like a brother to me. We did a lot together." Dylan Westbrook started on the pole and cleared to the early lead with the third-starting Sam Hafertepe settling in behind him. Three-time Hockett-McMillin winner Hafertepe grabbed the lead coming off turn two on lap five and quickly pulled away to a 1.5-second cushion over Westbrook over the next two laps. Aryton Gennetten moved into the runner-up position by lap nine with Westbrook falling back into third. The leaders hit lapped traffic by that point and Gennetten, using the low groove, was able to cut the lead to just under one second before Hafertepe again opened it up to 1.66 seconds before the race's first caution appeared on lap 15. Johnson, 51, made his way past Gennetten for second on the restart with Blake Hahn moving into third as Gennetten fell back. That's the way the top four were running when another caution slow things on lap 19, when Hafertepe's lead was a half-second over Johnson. Hafertepe, Johnson and Hahn broke away from the field after the restart and Johnson, hugging the low groove, took his first lead coming out of turn four to complete lap 25. Johnson said it felt like fate was on his side at that point. "Every one of them damn cautions came out at the right time. I lost the brakes," Johnson said. "I'm sure my brake rotors were glowing. I had no pedal left every time the caution came out and it saved my butt. I'm pretty sure ol' Jesse wanted me to win this race and he got them cautions for me." Johnson wasted no time opening a two-second lead as Hahn moved into second and Hafertepe fell back to third. Johnson was 1.8 seconds in front when a red flag on lap 30, for Westbrook's flip in turn two, brought the action to a halt. Westbrook, who was running eighth, climbed from the car without assistance. That left 10 laps to go when action resumed Johnson roared away from Hahn to add a Hockett-McMillin trophy to the one he earned in 2016. Johnson finished 1.3 seconds in front of 2019 winner Hahn with Bogucki coming home in third. Hahn said he had mixed feelings about coming up short. While disappointed he did not win, he was able to ride on seven cylinders to the finish. "About halfway through the race we had some motor issues," Hahn said. "We had 20 laps to go with it bogging down, but thankfully she held. It's just pretty frustrating. I felt like I owed it to my team to pick up a victory. We had a really good car tonight, but to be able to finish on the podium with seven cylinders is something to be proud of." Hafertepe settled for fourth with Matt Covington rallying from 11th to fifth. Randall takes command late for WAR win: Chase Randall took command with eight laps remaining and held on to earn the 30-lap POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory. The 18-year-old from Waco, Texas, earned $4,077 for the triumph. Randall beat Mario Clouser by .602 seconds to back up his Friday-night preliminary feature victory. Clouser had won on Thursday and the two started on the front row of Saturday's big finale. "Man, this is an awesome weekend," said Randall, who also ran in the ASCS Sprint feature. "We came here to run non-wing just for fun with the ASCS and I think we might fun it a little bit more now. The car's obviously working well. My dad has this EMI chassis tuned up well. "This kind of track just suits my style, just throw it up in there and hope it sticks. It was a great race with Mario." Clouser, of Chatham, Illinois, used a slider in turn three to take the lead from Randall as the two front-row starters dueled on the opening lap. He was able to clear out to a 1.6-second lead by lap seven as Wyatt Burks closed in on the rear of Randall. The race's first caution flew on lap seven and bunched the field for a restart. Clouser maintained command as green-flag action resumed, but another caution slowed the field on lap nine. Just as Clouser had rebuilt a 1.5-second lead by lap 14, his margin again was negated by the event's third yellow flag just one lap shy of the halfway mark. Clouser didn't get away as easily on the next restart, with Randall, defending race champ Wesley Smith and Burks closely following before a lap-19 caution waved. Randall used a slide job out of turn four to take the lead for the first time, on lap 22. Clouser stalked him over the next several laps, briefly going in front in turn two on lap 27, but was unable to make it stick. "He threw a hail Mary slide job at the end and I didn't see it coming until the last second," Randall said. "It was a good race." Randall held on the rest of the way to pick up the victory, finishing about three car lengths in front of Clouser who admitted his disappointment in coming up just short of his first Hockett-McMillin victory. "I don't know if I just ran it too hard there early and burnt the tire off it, but we definitely didn't have anything left at the end," Clouser said. "I don't even know what to say. I didn't want to run second tonight, at all. "It's especially frustrating. We've been fast here, but haven't been able to get it done on Saturday yet."

  "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON RETURNS TO THE PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY 410 SPRINT CAR BATTLES ON SATURDAY

  (Warner Springs, CA, September 16, 2022) Nearly five months after his wild crash, "Shugah" Shane Sexton will return to 410 sprint car action in the USAC/CRA Series Saturday night at Perris Auto Speedway. The effervescent teen will be debuting a brand new GAS Chassis in his return. Spectator gates at the popular half-mile clay oval will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will start at 7:00. 294095087_1658893874492132_7192374924082014097_n.jpg "Shugah" Shane Sexton. GAS Photo. Saturday will be the sixth start of the year for the 18-year-old in the premier wingless sprint car series West of the Mississippi. Four of those starts have been in Arizona and the other two have been at Perris. Sexton's plan was to race most of the races in the series this year. The season started out that way when he started five of the first seven races only sitting out a pair in Central California. His early season was punctuated by some impressive main event passing jobs. His best finish came at Cocopah on January 29th. On that night, the talkative racer started 18th in the main event and drove all the way to 11th for his best finish of the year. He also earned the Hard Charger Award on that night. Even though he has only started six of the 14 races in the series this year, he is still ranked 21st in the championship point standings. He should move back into the top 20 tomorrow night. Things were rolling along well for Sexton until the last Saturday in April at Perris. Heading into turn one on lap two of the main event, he tangled with another car and began a series of nasty flips that saw him tumble all the way to the crashwall. The car was bent, but it did its job and Sexton climbed out unscathed and ready to race again. In fact, he was supposed to race a couple of times already in a new chassis, but there was a delay in getting his engine back after it was sent out to be refreshed. Sexton should be very familiar with the GAS Chassis as his father Stan is the proprietor of the new company and builds them in his Warner Springs Ranch shop. GAS stands for Gatlin And Sexton. The Gatlin in the name is Sexton's grandmother Nita Gatlin. For more information on the new chassis or for pricing, please use the contact information in this press release. While he was out of his 410 sprint car, Sexton stayed busy wheeling a Brian Fonseca owned Lightning Sprint Car in six races in three different states. Included in the six starts was a win in a preliminary at the prestigious Dirt Cup at Washington's Deming Speedway on July 15th. He also placed second in the POWRi Lightning Sprint Car Nationals at the Central Missouri Speedway on May 28th. Last month, he finished third in the CLS race at the Santa Maria Speedway. Adult tickets to see "Shugah" Shane and the rest of the stars in action on Saturday are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are admitted free. There will be plenty of tickets available for everyone at the ticket window on Saturday, this event will not sell out. Perris Auto Speedway is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Paris (91767). The track website is http://www.perrisautospeedway.com/ and the office phone number is (951) 940-0134. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking. For fans who come east on the 91 Freeway to get to The PAS, the eastbound lanes will be shut down all weekend in Corona. Fans can take the 91 east to either the 605 or the 57 north to the 60 Freeway east. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

  Gennetten, Randall capture Night 2 feature wins at 12th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 16, 2022) - Night Two of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial saw a pair of youthful open-wheel drivers picking up feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway. Ayrton Gennetten, 23, visited victory lane for the first time in the Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Series, while Chase Randall drove to the POWRi WAR Sprint victory on his 18th birthday. The main events are set for Saturday night with $10,000 awaiting the ASCS winged-sprint feature winner and $4,077 going to the WAR non-wing champ. Drivers have spent Thursday and Friday preliminary nights building points toward starting positions for Saturday's big finale at one of sprint-car racing's majors. The Hockett-McMillin Memorial recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Gennetten, of nearby Versailles, Missouri, took over the lead on lap eight of the 25-lapper and went on to capture the $3,000 ASCS feature. He beat early leader and pole-starter Dylan Westbrook by 2.5 seconds. The low groove was good to Gennetten who said he was able to utilize the shortest way around the track to move into contention as the leaders rode the high line. "I thought I was gonna want to be on the top, but the bottom was so good," Gennetten said in victory lane, noting the WAR drivers "barely moved off" the low groove in their feature a few minutes prior. "The first four rows jumped out in front of me and Sam (Haftertepe) and none of them went down there. I thought, 'I'm not gonna beat these guys following them,' so I moved down there," Gennetten said. "We've been horrible all week, just struggling and struggling and struggling. "Finally, we were like 'let's keep trying and trying and trying.' We found some stuff there. I found the groove before anybody else." Fourth-starting Gennetten grabbed the lead away from pole-starting Westbrook coming to the start-finish line to conclude lap eight. By lap 12 he had opened a 1.5-second command over Westbrook and it was a full two seconds by lap 15. Landon Crawley advanced into the runner-up position on lap 18, going around Westbrook, but he was 3.1 seconds behind Gennetten who was nearly a straightaway-margin in front. Gennetten cruised from there as the ASCS feature went caution-free for the second straight night. Gennetten prevailed over Westbrook, who fought back to the second in the final laps. "It's a hometown race and obviously it's awesome to win tonight, but our goal is to go and win tomorrow and keep the Jesse Hockett (trophy) in Missouri," Gennetten said. Ninth-starting Roger Crockett finished third with Crawley settling for fourth and Hafertepe in fifth. It's a WAR birthday celebration for Randall: Chase Randall of Waco, Texas, led the first four laps and the final four to capture the POWRi WAR Sprint feature win, holding off defending Hockett-McMillin champ Wesley Smith of Nixa over the final laps. Randall made the winning pass on lap 22 of the 25-lapper, going past Landon Simon who had led 17 circuits before settling for third place. "This is a great win and a good win for our team," said Randall, who celebrated his 18th birthday with the $2,000 win. "We came down to this non-winged race to have some fun and get some experience. It's turned out to be a good weekend. We're learning a lot. "What better way to celebrate your birthday than to get a win." Randall, whose primary focus has been winged sprints, took the early lead from his outside row one starting position and set the pace through four laps before Simon grabbed the lead coming out of turn four to complete lap five. Simon quickly opened up a three-second lead over Randall by lap 12 with Zach Daum in third and pole-starting Smith in fourth. As the action remained caution-free, Simon stretched his command to 3.69 seconds by the time he hit lapped traffic on lap 16. That's when the race's first caution flew, for a three-car mishap in turn one, wiping out the leader's cushion. Randall and Smith started right behind Simon as green-flag action resumed. Simon continued to lead, but it was a dogfight and Randall regained the top spot with a lap-22 pass on the outside coming down the front straightaway. "I got really lucky there was a restart there. I knew my one shot would be on the restart," Randall said. Randall hung on to beat Smith by .173 seconds with Simon third and Jack Wagner coming home in fourth. "We were just a little too tight early and I lost a lot of spots," said Smith. "Things didn't go our way the first 15 laps, but after the caution, I don't know what happened.

  Pierce Powers to Lucas Oil Preliminary Win at Knoxville

  KNOXVILLE, IA (September 16, 2022) - Bobby Pierce powered from his fifth starting position to take the lead from Brandon Overton on lap 15 - holding off Ricky Thornton Jr. in the closing laps to win Friday night's preliminary feature of the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. Thornton, who started alongside Pierce in row three, passed Overton for second with five laps to go and chased down Pierce. Thornton closed to within one car length of the Illinois driver before falling just .0479 seconds behind the winner, who scored his first career win at Knoxville. Iowa native Chris Simpson was in the hunt the entire distance, passing Overton on the last lap to round out the podium. Overton was fourth with another Iowa driver, Tyler Bruening completing the top five. On a racy surface that saw two and three-wide racing all night, Overton jumped to the lead at the start of the main event. Overton led until Pierce passed him for the top spot on the ninth lap. Pierce then started to pull away from Overton after a couple of laps until the first and only caution of the race flew on lap 13 for Tyler Erb. On the restart Overton was able to regain the lead, but his time out front was short-lived as Pierce retook the point on lap 15. Pierce then appeared to have a comfortable advantage until Thornton started showing momentum on the top side. Thornton dived to the inside of Pierce in turn four, but Pierce was able to gain enough of a distance on the final lap to seal the deal. Pierce, in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since 2020, became the 19th different winner this season, talked about his move to take the lead the first time in the race from Overton. "The first pass I made on him [Overton] I kind of caught him off guard a little bit. I think that was his first run on the bottom and he kind of missed it. I passed him on the top and then I thought I had it in the bag and then that caution came out, and I thought I had it under control, but the carburetor kind of stumbled off four and I thought something bad happened, but luckily it got going again." Thornton, who currently sits third in the Lucas Oil championship standings, was pleased with his car in the final laps. "I knew I was pretty good when I got around those guys and then I got stuck behind Bruening and it slowed my pace down. We had a good restart Chris [Simpson] didn't quite get a good enough restart, so I turned to the bottom and got to third there. Then [Brandon] Overton and Bobby [Pierce] were racing so hard it kind of let me get around Overton. Then Bobby moved up and I could still run up to him. I felt like I was a little better there in one and two." Chris Simpson, who posted his first top five with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series since 2018, rounded out the podium spot in third. "The car was good. Brandon [Overton] got by me there and I just wasn't patient to stay on the bottom. I got up top and Bobby [Pierce] got by both of us. Then I started working the bottom again and got by Overton and got up to second. On the restart Bobby and I just messed up a little bit and I about gave it away."

  Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Amends October Schedule

  BATAVIA, Ohio (September 16, 2022) - With racing at The Red Clay at Woodstock - Historic Dixie Speedway continuing hiatus for the remainder of 2022, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series has amended the October 7th-8th weekend schedule. The 33rd running of the Lucas Oil Dixie Shootout at The Red Clay at Woodstock - Historic Dixie Speedway has been canceled. The scheduled event at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Ala. will shift to Saturday, October 8th. The Swims family paused operations at The Red Clay at Woodstock - Historic Dixie Speedway, and its sister track Rome International Speedway, in 2022 to focus on the health of Martha Swims - who along with her husband Mickey and other family members have owned the legendary racetrack for 46 years. "We have always done everything as a family, including racing," stated the Swims family. "We are so grateful for all the support that all our friends and family have offered both Martha and our family during this difficult time. We rejoice, for we know that she is with her Heavenly Father." Until her diagnosis in September of 2021, Mrs. Swims was still handling payroll, inventory, and race night office operations for both Dixie and Rome Speedways. Martha Swims, age 80, passed away on Saturday, July 16, 2022, in her home following her battle with cancer, with her husband, Mickey, and her daughter, Mia, at her bedside. "Martha Swims was a matriarch of dirt track racing," said Rick Schwallie, Lucas Oil late Model Dirt Series Director. "Dixie Speedway has been a pillar on the series schedule since its inception. We're grateful for the dedication of the Swims family and their contributions to racing over the past six decades. The family remains in our thoughts and prayers during these difficult times." The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will visit Talladega Short Track on Saturday, October 8th for a complete program of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, Heat Race, B-Mains, and a 50-lap, $15,000-to-win main event.

  Clanton Claims Thursday Night Preliminary Win at Knoxville

  KNOXVILLE, IA (September 15, 2022) - Shane Clanton earned his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of 2022, lead wire-to-wire in night one of the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway on Thursday night. Clanton took the lead at the start of the 25-lap event, first holding off Hudson O'Neal and then Earl Pearson Jr. to pick up his second career win at Knoxville and becoming the 18th different winner this year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Pearson came home in second, followed by Jonathan Davenport, Brandon Sheppard, and Kyle Strickler. The top finishers in Thursday night's preliminary feature have never won the Saturday night finale that pays $50,000 to the victor for the second year in a row. The first caution of the race came with three laps complete when Chris Madden, who was making his first trip to Knoxville since 2019, slowed on the track ending his night. O'Neal stayed with Clanton on the restart, but just as it looked like O'Neal had something for Clanton, he slowed on the track with rear end issues to bring out the second and final caution of the race with ten laps scored. On the restart Pearson and Davenport had a tight battle for second as the two drivers who have a combined seven Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Championships tried to track down the high-flying Clanton. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the sixth time in his career, the 47-year-old Georgia native was pleased with the performance of his car. "I could pass cars there on the bottom, so I knew my car was pretty good. I think we have a good enough car right now to win this on Saturday, we just need to be up front and take advantage of it. You need a car that is balanced to win here Saturday. You can't use a lot of brake getting into the corners you need it where it turns free, and it still has traction, and that's what we have right now so hopefully the track will be the same on Saturday. We can put a harder tire on the right rear maybe it will be alright." Pearson, whose win at Port Royal in August ended a two-year dry spell, came home in second. "The track was top dominate tonight, there is no doubt about it. We started fourth after transferring from our heat. The car was good all night with a lot of speed. We had a good points night. On the restarts you could do a little bit of a slide job. Jonathan [Davenport] drove me clean coming off of two, he could have slid on up and made me hit the brakes, but he didn't." Davenport, who accumulated the most points among the top finishers in Thursday night's preliminary feature, was concerned about overheating issues. "I need a bigger motor and a bigger fan. Everybody was running hot. It was just wide open around the cushion really. We got going there early and I was just trying to run around the bottom. About the last ten laps I was just started rolling out of it going down the straightaway, my temperature gauge was pegging over there. I was just trying to cool it down."

  Crawley, Clouser earn feature wins as 12th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial opens at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 15, 2022) - Veteran Tim Crawley led all the way to pick up the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series feature win on opening night of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway. Meanwhile, Illinois' Mario Clouser was first to the checkers on the non-wing side of things as he earned the POWRi WAR Sprint main event Thursday night. A total of 107 cars, including 78 ASCS Sprints, were in action on Thursday with the other half of the WAR Sprints scheduled to compete on Friday night for their preliminary program. Drivers in both divisions are compiling points toward the starting field on Saturday night. The event recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Crawley, of Benton, Arkansas, started up front and led all 25 laps en route to the $3,000 Lucas Oil ASCS feature victory. He held off Derek Hagar in a race that ran caution-free and took only 7 minutes, 4 seconds. "We work out butts off and this is what makes it all worthwhile," Crawley said. "We lost a good friend at home this week to cancer and then here's the Jesse and McMillin deal here. This all means a lot to me, it really does." Crawley points to his trophy and noted that he already has one Hockett-McMillin prelim trophy on his wall at home. "Here's another and we've got two more nights. I've got room for two more," Crawley said in victory lane. Saturday night's finale pays $10,000 to the ASCS feature winner. Crawley, starting outside of row one, grabbed the lead at the start but Hagar and Joe B. Miller were close behind through the first five laps. By lap 10, Crawley had gradually built a 1.5-second lead over Hagar in the extended green-flag run. He was able to navigate lapped traffic to maintain the margin as the laps quickly clicked away and opened a 2.2-second command with five remaining. Crawley held on from there to beat fellow Arkansas driver Hagar by 1.2 seconds. Mark Smith finished third with Miller fourth and Wayne Johnson in fifth. "We got to the lead and I started creeping down and once I got into the rubber, I didn't push it too hard," Crawley said. "I knew it was going to be hard to pass and I wasn't going to get out of line. I actually let the lapped cars go. I started pedaling and hitting my marks. "Sometimes you don't have to lap a whole bunch of cars to win, you just have to stay in position and that's what I was trying to do." Clouser earns POWRi WAR win: Mario Clouser of Chatham, Illinois, took control after an early back-and-forth battle and led the final 20 laps to earn his 13th career POWRi WAR Sprint feature victory. Clouser beat Wyatt Burks by just over a second to locked himself into Saturday night's $4,077-to-win main event. "I was a little nervous there. Wyatt got by us a couple of times early and I had to kind of hustle to get him back," Clouser said after his $2,000 triumph. Clouser said Burks showed him a line early in the race of using the high groove in turns one and two and the low line in three and four. "I was afraid that might be the scenario. It's up over the edge there off four," Clouser said. "You just can't carry enough momentum there to make it work. I won one here a couple of years ago where you had to run high down there and low down here." Clouser, who set fast qualifying time earlier in the evening before winning his heat race, started on the pole and led the opening lap. But Isaac Chapple used a pass out of turn four to lead lap two before the two swapped places again on lap five. A close battle between the leaders began to see separation by lap 12 as Clouser opened a two-second lead over Chapple. Wyatt Burks moved into second a lap later with seventh-starting Schudy advancing to fourth. Clouser's lead hit 2.5 seconds by lap 17 as he weaved his way through lapped traffic. That comfortable margin was wiped away, however, when a caution flag flew with eight laps to go. Clouser was able to hang onto the lead after the restart, holding off Burks by 1.08 seconds with Joe B. Miller rallying from 13th to third. Xavier Domey finished fourth with Casey Shuman fifth. "It's good to get a prelim-night win," Clouser said. "We just need to finish it on Saturday. We've been close a couple of times. It would be nice to seal the deal and get one. I really want to win this race, probably worse than any race in the country right now."

  BRODY ROA ENJOYING A RELAXED SEASON IN 2022

  (Cypress, CA, September 15, 2022) When Southern California sprint car star Brody Roa released his 2022 racing schedule, it shocked many that he was running in a variety of different series and was not chasing championship points in any of them. As the season is about to hit the homestretch, Roa is completely happy with the decision and has absolutely no regrets. This Saturday night he will be competing in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series at Perris Auto Speedway. PAS 8_20_22=91r=6322-3#BC08.jpg Brody Roa will be back at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday. Doug Allen Photo. The story of Roa's racing the past few seasons has been with the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series, USAC West Coast Sprint Cars, USAC National Sprint Cars when they headed west to end the season, and his annual trek to the Chili Bowl. To date this year he has raced the Chili Bowl, a few races in the USAC West Coast Series, the USAC National Series at Indiana Sprint Week, and periodic appearances with USAC/CRA. Additionally, he has raced with the World of Outlaws, ASCS/CAS Series in Arizona, King of Thunder winged 360s, and NARC King of the West 410s. With such a varied schedule, he has not had to think about the stress that comes along with point racing, and frankly, he is not missing it. "I am enjoying it, especially as it comes nearer to the end of the year," Roa said on Wednesday night. "I know the last few months, September, October, and November, are really stressful when you are point racing. You are counting points all night and you are trying to focus. It is always in the back of your head no matter what anybody says. You think about it. It is nice going into the end of this year not worrying about that. Going into the Ovals I will be focused on making good runs all three nights." "It has been our goal the last 10 years to run for that championship," Roa continued. "It is a different kind of fun I guess you could say. If we have a little off night, we are not worrying ourselves too much. We can move on to the next one. I have tried some things with the car this year that I probably would not have done (if they were chasing points). We have learned a lot this year and we have had a lot more fun. The tension level amongst the team is a little bit lower. It has been nice." The obvious question is if he has been having so much fun this year, is he going to do the same thing next year? One would think the clear answer would be "yes," he is going to stick with what he did in 2022. However, one must consider that the 31-year-old Garden Grove, California resident is a longtime successful racer with competitive juices that run deep. "I am not sure yet," Roa stated when asked if he would race for points in 2023. "It's a conversation I guess everybody has to have and decide what we want to do next year. I had fun with the wing deal this year, so I would like to do that occasionally. I want to run with Jayson (Jayson May who owns the #8M 360 sprint car Roa drives when available) more next year, too. When we get to the end of the year and schedules start coming out, we will all get together as a team with all of our partners, supporters, and families and see what we can and what we want to do next year." Roa's season will end a little over two months from now in the sprint car portion of the Turkey Night Grand Prix at Ventura. He has several races on his schedule including a stretch of five straight Saturdays of racing in three different series starting with this Saturday's USAC/CRA race at Perris. The rest of that stretch will include another USAC/CRA show at Perris, USAC Western Sprint Series races at Ventura and Kern County Raceway Park, and the NARC King of the West Twin 25's at Peter Murphy's Keller Auto Speedway. In addition to the October date at Keller, there may be one more wing race on his schedule in 2022. "We are going to put the wing back on a couple of times," Roa said. "Well, maybe a couple times. We only have one wing left. We have to get through the first one. We are going to do it once for sure. We will see about the second one and do whatever we feel at the end of October with the wing or non-wing." This Saturday Roa returns to Perris for his fourth wingless appearance at the track this year. His first three appearances on the famous Riverside County half-mile clay Oval in 2022 saw him finish in sixth place, third, and first. The win came on June 25th. The next time the series was at the track was on August 20th. To say the results were 180 degrees different would be an understatement. Between his heat race and getting clobbered and knocked out of the main on lap two, it seemed as though Roa was hit by everyone at the track except for the infield ambulance driver. "We still show up to run good, but having those nights hurts no matter what," Roa affirmed. "Whether it is points or just money. We rely a lot on the purse money to get the car ready again for the next one. When we have nights like that (August 20th) and we tear up everything in the trailer in like a total of 10 laps, it hurts the ego and the bank account. But it is definitely less stressful when I have a night like that this year as I am not worrying about a bad night points-wise." Roa is looking forward to this weekend in a big way. Not only will racing at Perris Auto Speedway on Saturday be on his agenda. On Sunday, Roa and his wife Tailor will be celebrating their daughter Addison's second birthday with family and friends. Adult tickets to see Roa and the rest of the stars in action on Saturday are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get in for $25.00. For kids 6 to 12, it is just $5.00. Children 5 and under are admitted free.

  Championship Night #1 Offers A Full Slate Of Racing At Antioch Speedway

  Antioch, CA...On the heels of the successful Monster Truck event last Saturday night, Antioch Speedway now turns its attention to crowning 2022 champions. This Saturday night will be a stacked lineup. Championship Night #1 will feature IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Xtreme Limited Late Models. All five divisions will offer plenty of excitement for the fans. All eyes will be on the IMCA Modifieds as the championship has come down to a five point differential between incoming leader Nick DeCarlo and Kellen Chadwick. Both drivers have won a division championship at Antioch in the past. DeCarlo has picked up four Main Event wins this year, while Chadwick has taken the checkered flag three times. It may come down to the driver who wins this race winning the championship. Past champion Bobby Motts Jr had a solid showing last time, putting him 12 points ahead of the two rookies in the race for third in the standings. Trevor Clymens leads Terry DeCarlo Jr by just four markers in the rookie battle. This one will also be decided at the final checkered flag. Other drivers could come to town to play spoiler. Earlier this season, ninth ranked Aaron Crowell picked up a win. Crowell has made his presence known from time to time, and he's the 2004 champion after a battle with Antioch Speedway Hall of Famer JD Willis. Fred Ryland is no stranger to winning at Antioch Speedway. He has 70 wins combined in his time at the speedway, and that ranges from multiple divisions. He's picked up four wins in IMCA Sport Modified competition this season, putting him 10 points ahead of Andrew Pearce in the championship battle. This would be his third title in this class, matching the total of IMCA Modified rookie Trevor Clymens. All Ryland has to do is not slip up and stay within range of Pearce, who picked up the win last time out for his first win at the track this year. 11 points behind Pearce is IMCA State champion Jacob Mallet Jr, who also has an Antioch win to his credit. He can move forward in the standings, but he won't lose third. Two-time feature winner Kenny Shrader and the consistent Chuck Golden are tied for fourth in the standings, and they're far enough ahead of KC Keller and Tyler Browne that they'll hold on to Top 5 point positions as long as they start the Main Event. Meanwhile, past Super Stock champion Mark Garner holds on to ninth in the standings, but he's excited about another thing. His son Billy Garner recently practiced in a Sport Modified for the first time and is getting close to his division debut. Travis Dutra would have to slip up pretty badly in order to lose the IMCA Stock Car championship. The reigning champion has yet to win a feature this year, but he's had five second place finishes and has racked up an amazing 10 Top 5 efforts in 11 starts. Jason Robles nearly won the last race, only to be passed late by Kellen Chadwick. Second place kept Robles 19 points out of lead, and he will finish no worse than that. Meanwhile, top rookie Jason Jennings leads Dave Hill by 24 points and should be able to maintain third as long as he starts the race. Dan Gonderman has come on strong lately and has a pair of podium finishes. He was third in the standings last year, and the two-time Wingless Spec Sprint champion is just two points ahead of rookie Jeff Bentanourt in the effort to hold on to fifth. Because he was absent last time, Fred Ryland dropped back to seventh in the standings in a tie with Joe Gallaher, 12 points behind Gonderman. Misty Welborn picked up her first podium finish in weeks as she seems to be headed for the Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stock title. She holds a 54 point lead over the resurgent Jared Baugh, who finished second last time out despite some serious damage to his car. Baugh is just 24 points ahead of the steady Michaela Taylor. Taylor has found herself fighting to get Main Event starts lately, but she has a pair of B Main wins in recent weeks. Taylor DeCarlo has had an excellent rookie season and is 40 points ahead of Jewell Crandall. She will likely hold on to fourth in the standings. Crandall picked up her second fifth place finish last time out, and that put her 26 points ahead of Grayson Baca in the race for fifth. Baca is a feature winner this year and has been fast. He'll need to come up with something big to reclaim fifth in the final rundown. The Xtreme Limited Late Models are back for their fourth appearance at the speedway, and there's a good battle for the championship. Reigning Placerville Speedway champion and current leader at that venue, Dan Jinkerson, holds just a one point advantage over Dan Brown Jr. Brown picked up the win last time at Placerville in what turned out to be a controversial affair after a late race tangle with Anthony Slaney. Brown is also one point behind Jinkerson in the Series championship battle, and there is a $1,500 prize at stake for the winner. At the moment, Matt Micheli is holding on to what would be a $500 third in the standings. Holding fourth right now is Rod Oliver, 22 tallies ahead of Slaney and Jay Norton. Slaney was the winner of the first Antioch race this year. Jinkerson won the next Antioch visit, and he lost a photo finish battle to Brown at their last Antioch race. Saturday night will offer some entertaining racing from start to finish with a solid five division lineup. The gates will open at 4:00 with the first race starting at 6:00. Adult tickets are $20, Senior/Military $15, Kids (5-12) $15 and kids four and under free. For further information, go to www.antiochspeedway.com

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: WAR sprint champ Schudy seeks elusive Hockett-McMillin Memorial triumph

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 13, 2022) - After finishing off his first Lucas Oil POWRi WAR Sprint League championship, Kory Schudy can envision no better way to top it off than winning one of his sport's biggest events. "It's a big race for us. It's huge," Schudy said of the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, kicking off its three-day run on Thursday at Lucas Oil Speedway. "For us regional guys, it's the biggest race of the year," continued Schudy, a 37-year-old from Springfield who has already locked up the POWRi WAR points chase. "We look at Jesse Hockett as a local legend. You definitely want to put your name on that win list." Schudy thought 2021 might have been his year, driving to a feature win on a preliminary night. But he came up short in the big show on Saturday, finishing fifth after winding up fourth the previous year. "It would mean everything," Schudy said of winning the final-night feature, worth $4,077 and a priceless amount of prestige. "We've won some races around here, but that one keeps eluding us. Last year was definitely our best shot. They did a little track prep right before the race and we missed it just a little bit and that was on us. "Hopefully, everything goes right and this can be our year." More than 60 entries already are in the WAR field, which will run split-field preliminary nights on Thursday and Friday, leading up to Saturday finale. Feature winners the first two nights will earn $2,000. The event recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. Schudy said he didn't have a chance to race against Hockett, but saw him race many times and that made a lasting impression when finally making the transition from micro-sprints to midgets and eventually wingless sprint cars. "He definitely was a true talent," Schudy said of Hockett. Schudy has earned three WAR feature victories this season en route to the title, a season after earning the USAC Midwest Wingless Racing Association title in 2021. "We only had one or two nights that weren't up to par, but we had three wins and finished second a lot," he said of the 2022 season. "It's definitely been a season to be proud of." It's been the continuation of a successful partnership with Jon Sawyer Racing over the last few years. "It's been a pretty good run with us," said Schudy, who noted the partnership began in 2016. "He's in Strafford, we're in Springfield. When you're running Midgets, you know the guys in this area that have 'em," Schudy said. "It happened to work out one year at the Chili Bowl that I was looking for a ride and we were parked next to each other. It was kind of meant to be." Schudy is quick to credit brother Kris Schudy with taking care of the car at the track, plus a strong core of sponsors that have been around for multiple years. In addition to Jon Sawyer Racing, those include Empire Energy, VP Fuels, Champion Oil, Hughs Brothers, Sprint Lawn Care and Vehicles Unlimited. The goal this weekend is to again have a successful preliminary night to gain a favorable starting position on Saturday, then let the chips fall where they may. "It's a big event with over 60 cars entered," Schudy said. "You have to have some luck on your side and get through your prelim night. It definitely helps to get locked in and start up front with the competition that comes in for this one." On the winged side of the action, the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series will point toward a $10,000 feature payoff on Saturday after $3,000-to-win preliminary night features. ASCS format for the three-night affair has been adjusted to remove the duel heat-race format in favor of the current qualifying format utilized by the Lucas Oil ASCS. One difference from the current format will be that teams will hot lap and qualify at the same time, with each hot lap-qualifying group split so no more than five cars will be on track at one time. Drivers will complete all three nights with event points awarded every time a driver enters the track in order to set the field on Saturday. Event points are different from the qualifying/passing points and are not used to set nightly lineups. The change comes as tires continue to be an issue across the industry, as well as eliminate unnecessary time on the track to quicken the event and reduce wear on the cars. The heat and qualifier format was used to take the issue of the draw out of the equation, but with the current ASCS National Tour format, that has been addressed. J.J. Hickle of Quilcene, Washington, captured the ASCS final-night feature one year ago at the Hockett-McMillin Memorial while Wesley Smith of Nixa, Missouri, is reigning champ of the POWRi WAR Sprint League.

  MICHNOWICZ MAKES IT TWO IN A ROW IN CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR MAIN EVENT AT LEMOORE

  (Torrance, CA, September 12, 2022) Legendary driver Bobby Michnowicz is back to his old self after a slow start to the 2022 racing season. Last Saturday night on First Responder's Appreciation Night at the Lemoore Raceway, he started on the pole and led every inch of the California Lightning Sprint Car main event for his second win in a row and his third victory of the year. 301623189_512316797367627_3074471761260193786_n.jpg Winner Bobby Michnowicz is surrounded by second place David Gasper on the right and third place Cody Nigh is on the left. CLS Photo. Fourteen CLS cars made the trek to the Central Valley in what could be best described as sketchy weather conditions due to Hurricane Kay. In fact, the heavens descended on the track in the afternoon, but fortunately, that was the last dose of the wet stuff for the day. Michnowicz, who has won the CLS title a record five times, gave everyone an early indication of what was going to happen on the night when he out-qualified the field with a time of 10.485 in West Evans Motorsports Qualifying. Defending CLS champion Dave Gasper of Santa Barbara was second quick at 10.533. Season-leading rookie Will Browne of Glendora was the third quickest qualifier at 10.594. Fillmore rookie Connor Spier started on the pole and captured Extreme Mufflers Heat Race #1 over Lakewood's Aiden Lange. The young duo inflicted the only ding on Michnowicz's armor on the night as he placed third. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who entered the night second in points, won Yoshimura R & D Heat Race #2 ahead of Jeffrey Dyer of Yucca Valley and Camarillo's Cody Nigh. For the 25-lap event on the Central California oval, Michnowicz was on the pole with Browne next to him. Gasper and Dyer were in row two with Nigh and Lange in row three. Moments after the green flag waved, Michnowicz in his T Shirts By Timeless/Fabozzi Metalworks/Pflum & Wagner/Outlaw Wings/Super Shocks/Kaiser Wheels/Fast Time Studios/Bondio Fabrication #21K, was the first driver to turn one. Gasper, who got a great start, was second with 18-year-old Browne third. Dyer tried to break into the top three at the end of the first circuit but Browne fended off his advances. Looking like his old self, Michnowicz simply drove away from the field. By the end of lap three, he had over a half straightaway advantage between himself and second-place Gasper. As the race progressed, the veteran driver continued to advance his lead till it was nearly a full straightaway when he encountered lap traffic on lap seven. That allowed Gasper to chip away at his lead, but by lap eight Michnowicz had shed the lappers and pulled away again. If one lapper to deal with was fun, Michnowicz found how much fun two lappers could be a couple of laps later on the ninth circuit. He was once again slowed by traffic and this time gasper gobbled up the real estate in no time at all. In fact, he had close to within one car length of the race-long leader before Michnowicz shed the slower cars and pulled away again. A yellow flag slowed the proceedings on lap 12. That yellow flag would alter the race big time. For the restart, Michnowicz was still at the point with Gasper in second. Dyer had gotten past Browne and was up to third. Browne was fourth and Nigh was fifth. Dyer did not get off turn four well on the restart and was tagged by Browne. That knocked Dyer's chain off and Browne's fuel injection was knocked off the intake boots. As they slowed, chaos rained down behind them with cars going in every direction trying to miss them. In the bedlam, Dyer's teenage son Seth got upside down for the first time in his lightning sprint career. The red flag immediately waved, halting the action. Fortunately, young Dyer was uninjured but his car suffered heavy damage. He, his dad, Browne, and San Diego's A.J. Bender were all too damaged to continue. After the delay to remove the damaged cars for the restart with 14 laps to go, Michnowicz and Gasper were in the same spots they had been in the entire race. Nigh was up to third with Greco fourth and Lange, who was making only his second start of the year, fifth. Gasper stayed close to Michnowicz for a couple of laps, but by lap 15, he was a half straight behind. Michnowicz continued to advance his lead and a late race bobble by Gasper put the bow on the package and allowed Michnowicz to streak past the checkered with a half-track advantage. Gasper placed second with Nigh third, Greco fourth, and Spier fifth. "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance picked up the Speed Mart/Advanced Racing Suspension/Hepfner Racing Products Hard Charger Award coming from 13th to finish seventh. Seth Dyer ended up with the Speed Mart Hard Luck Award. Gasper came into the race with a 36-point lead over second-place Greco. When he left at the end of the night, he increased his lead to 48-points. Nigh firmed up his grip on third, increasing his one-point advantage over Dyer to 41-points. Michnowicz remained in fifth. The lead in the Rookie of the Year chase changed hands for the first time this year. Fifth-place finisher Spier overtook Browne and opened an 11-point advantage.

  12th annual Hockett-McMillin Memorial rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway this week

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 12, 2022) - Some of the best in sprint-racing, both winged and non-winged cars, returns to Lucas Oil Speedway this week. It's the 12th annual Jesse Hockett-Daniel McMillin Memorial, featuring the stars of the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series and the POWRi WAR Sprint League, for full programs Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The event recognizes the legacy of Jesse Hockett, from Warsaw, Missouri, who was a star in both the winged and non-wing sprint divisions when he lost his life in a shop accident in 2010. His cousin and crew chief, Daniel McMillin, was killed in an automobile accident in 2006. ASCS format for the three-night affair has been adjusted to remove the duel heat-race format in favor of the current qualifying format utilized by the Lucas Oil ASCS. One difference from the current format will be that teams will hot lap and qualify at the same time, with each hot lap-qualifying group split so no more than five cars will be on track at one time. Drivers will complete all three nights with event points awarded every time a driver enters the track in order to set the field on Saturday. Event points are different from the qualifying/passing points and are not used to set nightly lineups. The change comes as tires continue to be an issue across the industry, as well as eliminate unnecessary time on the track to quicken the event and reduce wear on the cars. The heat and qualifier format was used to take the issue of the draw out of the equation, but with the current ASCS National Tour format, that has been addressed. The Saturday-night feature winner will earn $10,000 with Thursday and Friday feature winners earning $3,000. A pair of former Hockett-McMillin champions lead the ASCS National Series points battle heading into the season's home stretch. Blake Hahn of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, holds an 81-point lead over Wayne Johnson of Oklahoma City. The POWRi WAR wingless sprints will be running split field preliminary nights on Thursday, and Friday, with the addition of each competitor earning 50 show-up seasonal points for the weekend event as feature winners will be collecting $2,000 on the preliminary nights and $4,077 for the championship night finale. Kory Schudy of Battlefield, Missouri, has a commanding 490-point lead in the WAR division on the strength of three feature wins and nine top-five finishes this season. Steven Russell of Rochester, Illinois, has a 10-point advantage over Anthony Nicholson of Bartlett, Tennessee in the fight for second in points. J.J. Hickle of Quilcene, Washington, captured the ASCS final-night feature one year ago at the Hockett-McMillin Memorial while Wesley Smith of Nixa, Missouri, is reigning champ of the POWRi WAR Sprint League.

  Lucas Oil Speedway repeats as Missouri's Best Magazine "Missouri's Best Racecourse" award winner

  CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT CARS HEAD TO LEMOORE RACEWAY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS APPRECIATION NIGHT

  (Torrance, CA, September 5, 2022) The California Lightning Sprint Car Series is headed to Central California's Lemoore Raceway for this Saturday's First Responder's Appreciation Night. It will be the only 2022 appearance for the CLS at the track that is located 30 minutes south of Fresno. Spectator gates will open at 4:00 p.m. and the first race will take the green flag at 7:00. 305625882_3189317574652903_578269527231321681_n.jpg CLS President Jon Robertson is inviting all the drivers from the Bay Cities Racing Association to participate in the show. The CLS will honor all BCRA memberships and will pay a $100.00 bonus to the highest finishing BCRA driver. Saturday's race will be the 15th of the year for the CLS. After the series races in Northern California two weeks ago, the top four in the point standings got shuffled. David Gasper of Santa Barbara, the 2021 series champion, still leads the pack heading into Lemoore. However, Palmdale's Eric Greco has moved up to second and Cody Nigh of Camarillo has taken over third. Jeff Dyer, who calls Yucca Valley home, had a nightmare weekend in Nor Cal and dropped from second to fourth in the championship standings. Five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills, who won the main event at Placerville, is fifth. Gasper went into the two Nor Cal events having won four straight points races. He also had a 39-point advantage over Dyer when he arrived at Chico on August 26th. He finished fourth on the first night of the Nor Cal junket and eighth on the second night. Greco came into the races trailing Gasper by 41-points. He finished one position ahead of Gasper each night and cut his disadvantage down to 36-points going into Lemoore. Nigh is one point ahead of Dyer in the battle for third. The second half of the top 10 going into the weekend is comprised of Glendora's Will Browne, Connor Spier of Fillmore, "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance, Chino's Pat Kelley, and Dominic Del Monte of Gardena. Browne and Spier are locked in a battle for the Rookie of the Year award. Browne leads his fellow freshman by 22 points. At Chico, the two teenagers bested the veterans and finished first and second in the main event. It was Spier taking the photo finish victory prevailing by a scant .088. In addition to leading the CLS and Civil War Series point standings, Gasper sits on top of the CLS victory chart with six wins in the first 14 races. In the 13 mains he has started, he has a whopping .461 winning percentage. Michnowicz and San Diego's A.J. Bender each have two wins. Greco, Spier, and the father and son combo of Grant Sexton, and his father Brent of Lakeside, have one win each. Joining the CLS stars at Lemoore will be Bender. He has the night off from his USAC Western Midget and USAC/CRA Sprint Car duties and will be on hand this weekend. Last October, Bender appeared in the three-night Cal Cup at Lemoore driving for Sexton Gatlin Racing and he posted a win, a third, and a fifth-place finish. This week he will be in Mike Schweitzer's #41B. In four races together in 2022, Bender and Schweitzer have combined to win two times at the Bakersfield Speedway. Aiden Lange of Lakewood, a CLS regular and winner over the past few years, will make his second appearance of 2022 at Lemoore. The Lakewood racer last competed at the season opener in Bakersfield on March 25th. In addition to the CLS, five other classes will be racing on Saturday. The Lemoore Raceway is located at 1750 CA-41, Lemoore, CA (93245). The track website is http://www.lemoorejetbowl.com/. After Saturday's race at Lemoore, the CLS will return to action at the Bakersfield Speedway for round #4 of the Civil War Series vs the BCRA on September 24th.

  Jackson Jr. rolls to victory at Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 3, 2022) - The late-season hot streak continues for Tony Jackson Jr., this time with a victory on a track near home. Jackson took the lead on lap 12 and rolled from there, capturing the 8th annual Lucas Oil MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The driver from Lebanon earned a total $9,250, including $1,500 in bonus money from Mary Jenkins for the win plus $750 for setting fast qualifying time. A total of 108 cars, including 33 Late Models, checked into the pits in the annual Labor Day Weekend special which honors the builder of the original Wheatland Raceway, Ron Jenkins. Other feature winners were Matt Johnson (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series) and Bryan White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). The main event saw Jackson take command just past the quarter mark of the 40-lapper. The 2021 MLRA champ went on to capture third third series feature win in the last month in a new Capital Race Car. Jackson said he was content to stalk the leader early after conferring with Capital owner Marshal Green prior to the action on chassis set-up. "I knew he was going to be tough," Jackson said of early leader Kolby Vandenbergh. "He runs really good here. When I went over it with Marshal tonight, that was just how we planned on it. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't." Vandenbergh beat Jackson to the lead at the start in a battle of front-row starters and those two sprinted away to set the early pace, with Billy Moyer Jr., running third and Logan Martin fourth. Jackson dipped to the inside groove by lap seven and pulled alongside Vandenbergh over the next several laps, taking the lead at the start-finish line to complete lap 12. The race's first caution flew the next time around when Moyer, running third, slowed to a stop in turn one. Martin slipped past Vandenbergh on the restart with Oberkramer taking over the third spot. Martin was right behind Jackson as those two opened a one-second lead over Oberkramer by the race's midpoint of lap 20. Vandenbergh slowed, then pulled off the track, to bring out a caution at that point and bunch the leaders that included MLRA points leader Chad Simpson in fourth and Payton Looney fifth. Oberkramer used the restart to navigate around Martin to move into second. Jackson opened up a 1.2-second lead when the race's third caution for a slowing Brennon Willard wiped out Jackson's advantage with 13 to go. "It's always good to have one of your buddies behind you," Jackson said of Oberkramer, who also drives a Capital and pits alongside Jackson. "But Mason had come from a long way back, so I was nervous also. I knew he has a good car. "I was a lot more comfortable there when I was able to roll around the middle, but I had to go back up (to the cushion) and do some work." Jackson stretched his lead to 1.6 seconds by lap 35 and was able to get around lapped traffic the rest of the way to earn his third MLRA victory in the last five series events. Jackson finished 1.53 seconds in front of Oberkramer for his 14th career MLRA feature win. Martin wound up third with Simpson fourth and Looney in fifth. Oberkramer, from Broseley, Missouri, said he was pleased with the outcome after starting from the sixth position. "I'm gonna count this as a win for us," Oberkramer said. "Ever since we got this car from Marshal, we just haven't been able to hit it here. It's like Lucas has been my nemesis and it used to be one of my favorite tracks. To finally land a good podium finish and be back up, where we belong, it feels reassuring." Jackson began the night in fast fashion, setting the quickest qualifying lap at 15.302 seconds. Blair Nothdurft drove from 21st to 8th to earn the Hard Charger Award, picking up an extra $750 award courtesy of Mary Jenkins. The MLRA weekend swing concludes on Sunday night at the Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Archie led all the way, beating two-time reigning track champion Dillon McCowan by 2.6 seconds, for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win. "I knew that 7 (McCowan) was right there and I didn't have time to mess around," said Johnson, who earned $1,000 for his third victory of the season. "Dillon is a lot of fun to race with, as are these other guys." Johnson grabbed the early lead from his outside front-row starting position with McCowan moving from fifth to second by lap four. Those two soon pulled away to a 1.5-second gap over third-place Dustin Hodges. The leaders encountered lapped traffic with Johnson's lead over McCowan expanding to six car lengths by lap 15 and double that by lap 20. Johnson remained solid the rest of the way as the action remained caution-free, pulling away to earn the victory. Titan B-Mod win to Jackson: Lebanon's Kris Jackson captured his seventh Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season, taking home $1,000 for the Titans B-Mod Series 25-lapper. Jackson led all the way, but fought off Mitchell Franklin in the early stages before finally opening up a cushion over the final 10 laps. It was his 23rd overall feature win of 2022. "I thought for a second me and Mitchell were going to be side-by-side for 20 laps," Jackson said. "I've got a lot of respect for that young man and his father (Josh). They build their own race cars and do a whale of a job. Mitchell's a smooth racer and we share an engine builder. "I wanted to give him all the room that he would need. We had a nice, good race. I was just praying that if I could keep a nose in front of him and we could get a caution, I felt it would be the deal-breaker." Franklin pulled alongside Jackson on the outside several times during the opening 10 laps, but was unable to get by. Jackson kept hugging the low line to maintain his lead as a caution flew on lap 11 to slow the action. Shadren Turner moved into second on the restart, but Franklin regained second by lap 14. As those two swapped position, Jackson took advantage and opened a 1.1-second lead. Jackson kept stretching it out from there as the action remained under the green flag the rest of the way. He finished 2.2 seconds in front of Turner with Franklin third, Robbe Ewing fourth and Sheets taking fifth. Bryan White scores USRA Stock Cars win: Bryan White patiently stalked the leader before finally taking over the top spot with five laps remaining and went on to take the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars main event. Front-row starters William Garner and White set the pace the first portion of the race, with Wille settling into third as the trio separated from the field by more than 15 car lengths. White hugged the bottom groove to pull alongside Garner repeatedly, but was unable to nudge past as the two young Lebanon drivers dueled. A caution flew on lap 16 when fifth-place running Doug Keller spun in turn four. As the race resumed, the battle up front resumed with Garner in the middle of the track and White inside. White finally edged past coming to the completion of lap 20 held on from there as he held off Garner by one car length. Wille was third, on Garner's back bumper. "It was real fun. Me and Will were racing side by side there for several laps and it was real fun," said White, who earned $750 a week after wrapping up the regular-season championship. The top three were separated by .679 seconds. Mason Beck, who started 11th, finished fourth and James McMillin came home fifth.

  BRODY ROA GETS SECOND STRAIGHT WIN IN MAY MOTORSPORTS #8M

  (Cypress, CA, September 2, 2022) To say Brody Roa feels comfortable in the May Motorsports #8M may be the understatement of the year. For the second time in three weeks, he wheeled the car to victory when he bested the field in the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series race last Saturday night at the Ventura Raceway. 302013104_610639214107966_3801750003934255991_n.jpg Brody Roa after his win in the May Motorsports #8M last Saturday at Ventura. After attending crew chief Zac Bozanich's wedding the night before, Roa journeyed to Ventura to hop into May's pretty orange, blue, and white sprint car at the track located adjacent to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. When they last raced together on August 6th, the veteran driver scored an impressive win when he drove the 360 car to a win against the USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Cars at the Santa Maria Raceway. The 2016 USAC West Coast Sprint Car champion, Roa was making his first 2022 appearance in the series. The Garden Grove, California racer started the night by qualifying fourth in the 22-car field with a time of 13.008. Roa, 31, started inside the third row in his heat race. He quickly advanced to the third-place spot and began to challenge for second. While he was trying to get past the second-place car, the fourth-place car came calling on Roa. They became embroiled in a fierce, crowd-pleasing battle for the spot which eventually went to Roa. The "Pride of Garden Grove" began the main on the inside of the front row and as soon as the Chris Kornder green flag told the drivers to get it on, Roa went on the attack. Even though he poked the nose of the 8M ahead a couple of times, he did not officially lead a lap until the seventh circuit. Going into turn one he dove to the bottom and slid up the track to take the lead. A yellow on lap 9 bunched the field onto the back of Roa's car, but he quickly left them behind once the action resumed. Another yellow a couple of laps later and then a red saw Roa's lead dissipate two more times. However, when racing resumed, the field put 10 straight laps in and Roa built a half-straight lead. Another restart saw him again put distance between himself and the pack only to have it disappear with seven laps to go due to a yellow necessitated by a car losing a wheel and a red when a car flipped. The yellow caution flag finally bit Roa. On what would become the third to last restart, a car dove to the bottom and raced into the lead. However, before a full lap was completed, a sail panel came off another car and landed in turn three bringing out a yellow. The running order reverted to the last completed lap. On the next restart, the same thing happened. The second place car dove to the bottom and took the lead. And once again, the yellow came out when two cars tangled in turn three. So, the lineup went back to the last completed lap and Roa returned to the lead. The race restarted with four laps to go and this time Roa made sure he was going to stay at the point. He went low into turn one on the restart taking away the second-place driver's line. From that point on, he pulled away to score his eighth-ever win in the series by 1/3 of a straightaway. "I don't know what to say about that one," the smiling winner said to the crowd. "I feel like we really earned it. We got really lucky with those cautions. Hats off to Jim Naylor (promoter) on this track tonight. That was the way Ventura is supposed to be. You know, banging the boards around here. Rolling around the infield, that stuff is boring. This May Motorsports car is so badass to drive. I feel this is one of my best joints. Especially when it gets up around the fence like that. Huge thanks to the May family and all of their partners in this deal." Roa will get Labor Day weekend off before hitting the track for three straight weeks. On September 10th and 24th, he will be back in the May Motorsports car in the West Coast Series at Bakersfield and Ventura. Sandwiched in between on the 17th, he will be in his own #91R for the USAC/CRA Series race at Perris. If you wish to hear Roa's recent appearance on the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Rejuvenated Jackson returns for 8th annual MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Sept. 1, 2022) - With two recent Lucas Oil MLRA feature wins in his pocket, Tony Jackson Jr., will bring a renewed enthusiasm to Lucas Oil Speedway for Saturday night's 8th annual Ron Jenkins Memorial. A rough start to the season, including failing to qualify for the Show-Me 100 big show at Lucas Oil Speedway, led Jackson to sell his stable of Late Model cars and take a break to regroup. Armed with a new Capital Race Car, the 25-year racing veteran from Lebanon returned a couple of weeks ago to capture MLRA events in Iowa. "I feel rejuvenated and blessed to be where we're at," Jackson said. The Ron Jenkins Memorial, paying tribute to the man who built the original Wheatland Raceway, is the final Late Model special of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds will run for $1,000 to win and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars will have a $750 feature prize. The Ozark Golf Car USRA B-Mods will battle for a special $1,000-to-win top prize Presented by the Titan B-Mod Series. Jackson, the MLRA Series champion in 2013 and 2021, said he took a brief break over the summer when results weren't up to par and his cars just didn't feel right. "I don't know, I'd raced for a long time and I knew what kind of feel you look for and I didn't feel that I had it," Jackson said. "Obviously everybody thinks they can get the job done, but you start doubting yourself. "I had no intentions of quitting. I just needed to regroup. That's what we did. We kind of stopped, took a deep breath and rebuilt on a program that we know what it takes to win." The connection to Capital Race Cars owner Marshal Green made sense, Jackson said, because he had known Green for a long time and he recommended a Capital car to fellow area racer and friend Payton Looney a few years ago. Looney went on to win the 2019 Show-Me 100 in his Capital, giving the Georgia-based company additional national credibility. "Payton was at a point where he was struggling and I told him that Marshal was a very good person and he went that route," Jackson said. "He's had a bunch of success and at the same time, when I was struggling, I was talking to Payton and he's like 'I think you'd be happy with a Capital.' "I had stayed in contact with Marshal and it was just an easy move." But winning right out of the box with a new car is pretty rare. Jackson said Green's advice seemed to fit perfectly from the get-go. "It just fit me, the way we talk and communicate," Jackson said. "You want good balance in your race car and it was just a really good race car when we unloaded. "We definitely have a lot of confidence and momentum going forward." Jackson said his goals the rest of the way are simple. His time away from racing didn't affect any plans to chase points, as he intended all along to be selective with his racing choices. "It was a kind of a weird year. We had no points racing plans," he said. "Business is really busy and my daughter is getting older. We planned on hitting a lot of the bigger-paying shows ... but we just had no speed, so we stopped and regrouped. "Now we're going again and look forward to trying to win as many races as possible and just basically build our notebook with these cars and be ready to come out strong next year." Last year, he drove Chad Wheeler's Modified at the USRA Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway and would consider hopping in someone else's ride again this October if given the opportunity. "I like supporting all the local tracks around," Jackson said. "I'm still that guy who just likes to race. If somebody gives me something to race, I'll go race it." The $7,000-to-win, $700-to-start Lucas Oil MLRA event is the middle night of a three-race MLRA swing that begins Friday at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas, and concludes Sunday at Randolph County Raceway in Moberly. Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, will be looking to continue his pursuit of the MLRA season championship.

  BOBBY MICHNOWICZ NOTCHES CLS VS BCRA CIVIL WAR WIN AT PLACERVILLE SPEEDWAY

  (Torrance, CA, August 31, 2022) Longtime veteran Bobby Michnowicz took the familiar road to the top step of the podium when he outdistanced the field in round #3 of the CLS vs BCRA Civil War Series at the Placerville Speedway last Saturday night. The win was the second of the year for the legendary racer. 1200x1200-tI37sNK6uox761655.jpg Bobby Michnowicz after his Civil War Series win at Placerville. Twenty-two cars showed up for the race on the famous red clay banked quarter mile on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. BCRA point leader Matt Land of Elk Grove kicked things off when he set fast time in West Evans Motor Sports Qualifying with a lap of 12.517. Last season's CLS champion and current point leader David Gasper of Santa Barbara turned in the second best time with a 12.581. Longtime BCRA star Dakota Albright of Waterford was third quickest at 12.594. Land kept his night perfect when he won the Extreme Muffler Heat #1 over Michnowicz, and Friday's Chico winner Connor Spier of Fillmore. In Yoshimura R & D Heat Race #2, Livermore's Greg Dennett gave BCRA two wins to start the night. Camarillo's Cody Nigh placed second with Josef Ferolito of Modesto third. Albright gave BCRA a clean sweep of the heats when he topped Harley Aguilera of Orangevale and Palmdale's Eric Greco in the Saldana Race Products third heat. Nigh, who was looking for his first win of the season, was on the pole for the main with Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer alongside. Dennett was off the inside of row two for the 25-lapper with Oak Hills resident Michnowicz next to him. Albright and Land occupied row three. Nice guy Nigh raced into the lead at the drop of the green and had Dyer, Michnowicz, Dennett and Land in pursuit. Nigh started to put some distance between himself and the pack on lap two while his uncle, Michnowicz, relegated Dyer to third in turn three on the same lap. Dyer spun in turn two on the third revolution on the famous oval. Land, with nowhere to go clobbered him and was then in turn hit by Ferolito. Land, who was working on a clean sweep, tipped over onto his right side. The red flag came out and while both were uninjured, the heavy damage their cars sustained knocked them out for the night. On the restart, Nigh was at the point with Michnowicz in tow. Dyer, whose car took off again when Land hit him before the red flew, was third. Dennett and Albright were fourth and fifth. Spier, who was sixth, immediately raced by Albright and Dennett to move up to fourth. However, he was behind Dyer whose car was definitely feeling the effects of being part of the crash and was drastically slower. The California Highway Patrol officer called in a night after two more laps. Michnowicz chased down his nephew on lap five and tried to sneak by on the inside in turn three. However, he caught a piece of the berm and bobbled allowing Nigh to stretch his lead out. Michnowicz turned the tables on Nigh when the latter drifted a little high off two on lap seven and tapped the rough stuff on the outside going down the back straight. The wily veteran seized the opportunity and flew by the race-long leader as they drove into turn three. Michnowicz, who has been having an uncharacteristic season with only one win and several DNF's, pulled away as soon as he commandeered the lead. When he caught the lapped traffic on lap 11, he was a full straightaway in front of his closest pursuer. Nigh was being pressured by Spier and Albright, but he eventually pulled away from them. Albright broke into the top three when he got by rookie Spier on the 16th go around but that was as far as he was going to get. When he raced under the checkers, ageless Michnowicz had a full straight lead over Nigh. Albright placed third with Spier fourth and Dennett fifth. "It is nice to finally get a win and it is nice to see everybody here," the happy winner told the fans. "The track was good and the car was good. It has been a long time and we have been in a slump, no doubt. I just kept looking down the front straightaway and counted down the laps, because when you have been snake bitten like we have been, you just know something is going to go wrong." Spier who started 10th and finished fourth was the race "Hard Charger" and picked up contingencies from Speed Mart, Advanced Racing Suspension and Hepfner Racing Products for the effort. Land picked up the Speed Mart "Hard Luck Award" and "Rockstar" Jon Robertson received the "First Car Not on the Lead Lap" contingencies from Rebel Gears. Gasper remains in the CLS point lead and has a 36-point advantage over the new guy in second, Greco. Nigh moved up to third while Dyer slipped back to fourth. Placerville winner Michnowicz remained in fifth. Will Browne maintains the lead in the Rookie of the Year chase. Spier is 22-points behind. Going into the final Civil War Series race at the Bakersfield Speedway on September 24th, defending champ Gasper has a 31-point lead over Greco. Glendora's Browne is third with Michnowicz and Nigh fourth and fifth. The CLS returns to action on September 24th when it makes its only appearance of the year at the Lemoore Raceway.

  CONNOR SPIER GETS FIRST LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR WIN AS CLS SWEEPS THE PODIUM AT CHICO

  (Torrance, CA, August 30, 2022) Rookie Connor Spier scored the first California Lightning Sprint Car Series victory of his career in a thrilling photo finish at round two of the CLS VS BCRA Civil War Series last Friday at the Silver Dollar Speedway, in Chico, California. Spier beat fellow CLS rookie Will Browne by .008 for his initial win. Eric Greco took the third place spot on the all-CLS, all-teenage podium. 296949593_3167406126844048_7421381587190912824_n.jpg Conner Spier won his first California Lightning Sprint Car race last Saturday at the Silver Dollar Speedway. CLS photo. Twenty-one cars showed up for round two of the annual four-race series. The first order of business was West Evans Motorsports Qualifying and the BCRA drew first blood when Placerville's Brandon Leedy turned in the fastest lap with a time of 13.866. BCRA point leader Matt Land of Elk Grove was second quickest at 14.216. The fastest of the CLS drivers was Browne, who ended up being the third quickest of all when he stopped the clots at 14.273. Extreme Muffler Heat Race #1 went to defending CLS champion David Gasper of Santa Barbara. Placerville's Cody Meyer placed second in that one with Orangevale's Harlee Aguilera third. Five-time CLS champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills drove to victory in Yoshimura R & D Heat #2 ahead of his nephew Cody Nigh and Land. The final heat, which was sponsored by Saldana Race Products, went to BCRA's Josef Ferolito who calls Modesto home. He was chased to the checkers by Spier and Browne. When the 20-lap main rolled onto the famous quarter-mile clay oval, BCRA's Meyer was on the pole. Outside of him was CLS freshman Spier of Fillmore. The second row was comprised of the CLS duo of Browne and Nigh. Ferolito and fellow BCRA driver Land comprised row three. Meyer raced into the lead when the green lights flashed on with Spier, Browne, Land, and Nigh giving chase. Racing slowed down early when Jayden Meyer spun his #21D in turn four on the second lap. Land had passed Nigh for fourth and Michnowicz also had gotten past Nigh before the yellow for fifth. The revised top five read Meyer, Spier, Land, Browne, and Michnowicz. The driver who got the best restart was Gasper. The rising teenage star used the outside to pass Michnowicz and Browne in the first bend. That moved him up from sixth all the way to fourth. Land tried to knife his way inside Spier in turn two on the fourth circuit. Spier held him off, and then Land clipped the inside berm in turn four and went from third back to seventh. That moved Gasper to third, Browne to fourth, and Palmdale's Eric Greco to fifth. By lap five, Browne had gotten back around Gasper and he dragged Greco with him. But they were about a half straightaway behind leader Meyer and Spier. A couple of laps later the yellow flew for the second time in the race when Jayden Meyer slid to a stop on turn four. That destroyed the advantage Cody Meyer and Spier were enjoying and brought the rest of the field to their rear ends. Cody Meyer was at the point for the restart with Spier's brilliant red Channel Islands Floorcovering #57 right behind him, just as he had been all race long. Browne was back to third with Greco and Gasper rounding out the top five. This time when the race resumed, Spier went to the inside and as they reached turn one, he relieved Meyer of the lead. Spier quickly pulled away and left a torrid battle for second behind him that saw Meyer trying to fight off Browne and Greco. As they crossed the start-finish line at the halfway point of the race, Browne swung to the inside and took second away from Meyer. One lap later, Greco also use the inside line and pushed Meyer back to fourth. With five laps to go, Spier was about 1/3 of a straightaway in front of second place Browne. With laps dwindling away fast, it did not seem like Browne had a chance. However, things were about to get exciting. On lap 17, Spier clipped a hole in four and gave up some valuable real estate. That allowed Browne and his "Win Now Racing" #8 to get closer. Spier quickly recovered and was back up to speed just in time to spy a lapped car lurking just ahead. Browne was closing fast as they crossed under the white flag. In the middle of one and two, he had closed to within one car length of leader Spier, who likewise was closing in on the lapper. However, Spier seemed to hit turn two perfectly and pulled away from his pursuer. The race seemed to be a slam dunk at that point, but as Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over till it's over." Coming off four the final time, the lapped car got a little sideways directly in front of Spier. He then drifted off the pole and Spier did likewise right behind him. That opened up the bottom of the track for Browne, who took full advantage of the situation offered to him. He got a drive on the low line and made his move for the lead. He pulled alongside Spier, but in the end, ended up .008 short in the thrilling finish. Greco finished third with Gasper fourth and early race leader Cody Meyer fifth. Greco ended up being the race "Hard Charger" and picked up awards from Speed Mart, Advanced Racing Suspension, and Hepfner Racing Products. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer, who came into the night second in CLS points, got the Speed Mart Hard Luck Award. Braden Meyer received the Rebel Gears First Car Not On The Lead Lap Award. The teams had little time to relax as they had to head 120-miles southeast to race 24 hours later at the red clay Placerville Speedway. West Evans Motorsports Qualifying: 1. Brandon Leedy, 13.866; 2.

  Earl Pearson Jr. Returns to Lucas Oil Victory Lane with $50,000 Triumph at Port Royal

  PORT ROYAL, PA (August 27, 2022) - Earl Pearson Jr. raced to the top position on lap 10 and held on for his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win since July of 2020. Pearson held off Ricky Thornton Jr. to take the richest dirt late model race in the history of Port Royal Speedway, earning a $50,000 payday in the Rumble by the River main event. Thornton took home $20,000 for second place, as the defending Dirt Track World Champion finished just .612 seconds behind the 4-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion. Gregg Satterlee came from the 12th starting spot to finish third, with Jonathan Davenport and Daulton Wilson rounding out the top five drivers. Thornton took the lead at the start of the race as Pearson, who started fourth, started making his move early and had climbed to second by lap five. Pearson then outdueled Thornton in the race for the lead to grab the top position on lap 10. Pearson looked to be in control until Thornton started to close the gap with less than 10 laps to go. The green flag stretch of racing reached 44 consecutive laps before a caution with six to go would set-up a shootout between the two Lucas Oil regulars. When the race restarted, Thornton made every effort to get by Pearson, but the 50-year-old Florida native was able to hold off the defending Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rookie of the Year to take the victory. Pearson, in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 40th time in his career, dedicated his win to his father who passed away last year. "It's awful emotional for me, I lost my dad last year and this is for him and my mom and everybody up in Heaven looking down on me today. There's no doubt they have been a huge part of everything I have done. This is for all of my family and friends back home and everybody that's pulling for us. What a heck of a show that was. Thornton ran me awful clean, he got into me a little bit down there in four, but hey that was a heck of a race and I done all I could." "I didn't know if I needed a caution or not," Pearson added. "I have run good here several times. I like the big tracks and it paid off tonight. I absolutely had to change my line. I knew I had to go in low and let it drift up because he [Thornton] is a master of the slide jobs so if I didn't block the line, I knew what he was going to do. He done a heck of a job. We were fast here in the spring and had speed last night. I love this place, it's a beautiful place to come to. You can race all over it. They done a heck of a job with the racetrack last night after the rain. They do a heck of a job here." Thornton, who sits third in the championship points standings, had tracked down Pearson before the only caution of the race. "I really didn't want that yellow. I felt like I could move around pretty good before that. I tried a Hail-Mary kind of slider, and I knew I wasn't going to clear him. I wasn't going to run him over. Earl raced all of us clean, so I made sure I left him a lane. We just didn't have enough. I felt good in one and two and I could move around. He was kind of committed to the bottom. Overall, I mean it was a brand-new car for this weekend and we had a couple of good runs; we are excited for the rest of the year." Satterlee, who captured the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series event at Port Royal in April and came into the race with nine overall wins at eight different tracks, charged from the outside of row number six to round out the podium. "We did nothing different there in the last part of the race. There were less cars in front of us and that allowed us to maneuver a little a bit more and we could race better. We had a good car tonight. We are happy to come up through there to get third. I was disappointed with myself in that heat race. I just needed to get a better starting spot."

  Bryan White wins family affair for USRA Stock Car championship; McCowan, Jackson, Ferris also wrap up Lucas Oil Speedway titles

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 27, 2022) - Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night at Lucas Oil Speedway saw three of the four championship chases decided by less than 25 points. In action Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick and On Media, the closest battle came in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, with Bryan White's second-place feature finish enough to edge out his dad, Rob White, for the championship. Other Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series track champions crowned on Saturday night were Dillon McCowan (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). McCowan also celebrated with a feature win, making his night doubly sweet. Rodney Schweizer captured the Stock Cars feature victory, Ryan Gillmore earned a B-Mod feature thriller and Tucker Cox grabbed the Late Model main event. Bryan White, who began the night 12 points ahead of Rob, finished third with Rob in second. The unofficial final margin between the two was eight points. Mason Beck, who began the night two points behind Bryan White, ran 15th to fall back to third in the points. "I'd like to thank everybody on my car, my family over here and everybody who helps me every week," Bryan White said. "It's just a dream, really, to even win a race over here let alone a championship." Pole-starting Schweizer, Dean Wille and Robert White ran 1-2-3 through the first 11 laps, with a caution slowing the field at that point. Rob White moved into second on the restart, with Bryan White advancing two spots and into fourth. Bryan White advanced into third and onto the back bumper of his dad on lap 14, which made it where he could clinch the title by staying there. Schweizer barely held off Rob White's attempted pass for the lead on lap 18 when a two-car incident in turn one brought out a caution to set up a two-lap shootout. The top three remained the same taking the white flag with Bryan White bumped past his dad in turn two of the final lap - but a spin on the other end of the track brought out one more yellow to leave a one-lap sprint to the checkers. Schweizer, of Kansas City, Kan., held on for the win by one car length over Rob White with Bryan White third. "We've had enough seconds this year. It's about time," Schweizer said after the win. Wille wound up fourth with William Garner charging from 14th to fifth. McCowan doubles up in USRA Mods: Dillon McCowan of Urbana enjoyed a double celebration, winning both the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature while also nailing down his second straight track championship. McCowan beat Dustin Hodges, his nearest points competitor, by 1.9 seconds after taking over the lead on lap five. He held it the rest of the way in a caution-plagued 20-lapper. McCowan was driving a yellow No. 7 wrap modeled after cars his grandfather, A.D. McCowan, used to own. Dillon switched to the color scheme from his familiar green and white No. 8 after midseason. "I don't even know what to say. This is huge," McCowan said in victory lane. "Being here with my grandpa's wrap on, it's very special even though he couldn't be here. I'm just really excited to get this done for him. "It was a close battle between me and Dustin and I was glad we were able to seal the deal." McCowan began the night 17 points in front of Hodges in the points battle and he began the feature starting in fifth, two spots ahead of Hodges. He stayed in front of him throughout. Dylan Hoover started on the pole and set the pace through five laps while McCowan worked his way into second with Tracy Wolf in third. McCowan got a big run on a lap-six restart to take the lead, getting around Hoover in turn two. Two laps later, Dowell moved past Hoover and into the runner-up position. McCowan's lead was nearly two seconds over Dowell when a lap-12 caution slowed the action. Despite two more cautions the rest of the way, McCowan was able to handle each restart and went on to capture his seventh feature win of the season to go along with the championship. Hoover finished third with Dowell fourth and Nic Bidinger in fifth. Jackson makes it seven titles in USRA B-Mods: Ryan Gillmore beat JC Morton by a couple of feet in one of the closest finishes of the season, earning the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature. The race had six lead changes between the duo. The big prize, though, went to Lebanon's Kris Jackson whose fourth-place finish was good enough for his Lucas Oil Speedway-record seventh track championship and fourth in a row. He also earned championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. "We weren't as good as we wanted to be tonight," Jackson said. "We kind of played it a little safe and rode around the bottom and just made sure we finished in the top five." Gillmore started the night 30 points behind Jackson and did all he could, winning his third feature of the season. But it wasn't quite enough - though his scant margin of victory over Morton (.036 seconds) gave the fans a dazzling final race of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season. "That was a fun race. Lapped cars really saved my life on that one," Gillmore said. "JC was so much better than me on the bottom of (turns) one and two and I got to four to go there and I was trying to figure out an option when lapped cars showed up. "I kind of pressured him and he was gracious. He definitely could have took it from me at any time and I appreciate him racing me me clean." Morton started outside of row one and wasted no time setting the early pace, with Jon Sheets second and Jackson third when the race's first caution appeared on lap two. Two more cautions appeared before two more laps could be completed. Finally, after a fourth caution on lap six, the race settled into a rhythm. Gillmore got a big run on lap seven to sail around the outside of Jackson and into second and he used the same move a lap later to grab the lead away from Morton. Morton rode the inside line to pull alongside Gillmore over the next several laps, with Andy Bryant and Jackson running third and fourth. Morton regained the lead by a half car length on lap 13, but Gillmore again rode the cushion to go back on top two laps later. The back-and-forth tussled continued with Morton going back in front on lap 16. Those two entered lapped traffic the next time around and they were separated by a few feet taking the white flag. Gillmore made it six lead changes in the final 100 feet, coming around the outside of turn four as Morton was hindered a bit by a lapped car as the two Springfield drivers came to the finish together. Bryant finished third with Jackson fourth and USRA Modified national points leader Shadren Turner of St. Joseph, in fifth. Cox earns Late Model win as Ferris clinches title: Jefferson City's Tucker Cox couldn't catch Larry Ferris in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model points chase, but Cox led all 20 laps to capture the championship-night feature victory. Cox beat Matt Becker by 1.5 seconds at the finish and was never seriously threatened throughout the event. Ferris completed his track-championship season by finishing third. "I felt like we'd been about a third-place car all year," Cox said. "Finally, I didn't overthink it for the future and it was really good." Cox started on the pole and roared to the lead as the feature went green. While Ferris had mathematically clinched the title before the feature, he trailed Cox by 1.4 seconds when the race's first caution flew on lap four. Ferris slipped back to fifth after the restart as Cox opened a 1.2-second lead over Matt Becker by the midpoint on lap 10 and Cox's margin ballooned to 3.4 seconds by lap 14. The runaway was erased a lap later as third-running Bryon Allison spun to bring out a caution. Cox said he didn't mind the caution because he was nearing lapped cars that could have potentially caused him issues. "Right before that last yellow came out, I was like a yellow would be all right, right now," Cox said. "I knew we were really good on restarts." Cox once again dominated after action resumed, rolling to a comfortable win over Becker with Ferris rallying for third, Joe Walkenhorst finishing fourth and JC Morton fifth. Ferris said he couldn't have asked for a better season or a better-performing car from April through August. "We've had a good season. We sure can't complain about how the car has run," Ferris said. "I think I've lacked a little bit, like tonight."

  Sheppard and Davenport Score Feature Wins at Port Royal

  PORT ROYAL, PA (August 26, 2022) - Brandon Sheppard and Jonathan Davenport went to Lucas Oil Victory Lane on Friday night in the preliminary night twin 25 lap features at the Port Royal Speedway. Sheppard led all the way to win the first 25 lap main event, while Davenport had to chase down Chris Ferguson to take the lead on lap 17 for the victory. In the first preliminary feature, Sheppard pulled away from Earl Pearson Jr. and Jimmy Owens after a late race caution for the win. Mike Marlar came home in fourth, with Michael Norris completing the top five. Sheppard took advantage of his pole starting spot, bolting to the lead at the start of the race. Owens then followed Sheppard until lap 17 when Pearson, using the top line, got by him for second. The two 4-time series champions then battled to the finish with Pearson edging out Owens. Sheppard's margin of victory was 1.230 seconds at the finish. The winner's Mark Richards Racing Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Ace Metal Works, Sunoco Race fuels, Sallack Well Service, Keyser Manufacturing, Gunter's Honey, Petroff Towing, and Rocket Pre-Owned Motors. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Gary Stuhler, Ross Robinson, Daulton Wilson, Rick Eckert, and Dale Hollidge. "It's good to get back to Victory Lane. The track was awesome tonight. The track crew did a great job getting the track ready after the rain. You could race all over it tonight. I am sure tomorrow night it will slick off and put on a good show for these fans. I want to thank my crew for all the hard work they do on the car. This should get us a good starting spot tomorrow night for the heat races." Pearson, who capitalized on a solid run at Port Royal Speedway in April, came home in second. "Our car was good tonight. We could run that top good. I thought maybe on that last restart I had something for him [Sheppard]. The top three put on a heck of a show for these fans. Jimmy and I went back and forth for a long time there. The track was smooth and racy. I am sure it will be drier tomorrow night. I think we have a car capable of winning this race on Saturday night." Owens, who stayed in the top three the entire race, rounded out the podium in the first 25-lapper. "We had a good car. It was very maneuverable. I thought I could stay with Brandon there for a while longer, but he got away from us and then we had that caution and Earl, and I were racing hard. It was a good race and hopefully it will put us in a good position for the heat races." Davenport would continue his hot streak but had to earn the win as Ferguson led the first 16 laps of the second 25 lapper before yielding the lead to Davenport in traffic. When the checkers flew, Davenport had opened a 4.337 second advantage. Davenport, who started third, led Ferguson, Gregg Satterlee, Kyle Strickler, and Hudson O'Neal to the finish line for his sixth straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory and the 65th of his career. "That was the key to get through lapped traffic. I knew it would slime up there a little bit once we got to traffic. The top was pretty dominant there. Finally, there was a couple of drivers that got in his way. Then we started dicing through there. I got a good run off the bottom of two there one time and that was the only time I could do that. He come back on me one time and he turned down across and I tried not to hit him, so I got broke loose and I had to try and slide him all the way across hos nose. I was trying to run him as clean as I could." Ferguson, the 2022 Show-Me 100 winner, appeared to have the car to end Davenport's long win streak but fell short at the end. "I just needed to be a little better on the cushion. We were just a little too tight to be up there running where we were. I was having to drive the car really hard. I did what I could to keep him behind me as long as I could, but he was just a little bit better up there than us." Satterlee, who entered the weekend as one of the Pennsylvania hopefuls, came from seventh to round out the podium. "It's definitely a step in the right direction. We kind of started off on the wrong foot tonight. I didn't qualify very well and I kind of put us behind going forward for the rest of the evening. We were able to make up some ground in the heat race and we made some really good changes for the feature. Our car was good it was really balanced well. We were just getting better and better as the race wore on." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten in second feature were Tim McCreadie, Ricky Thornton Jr., Garrett Alberson, Tyler Erb, and Colton Flinner.

  BRODY ROA IN JAYSON MAY'S CAR FOR VENTURA USAC 360 RACE SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, August 25, 2022) Just three weeks after they outdistanced the USAC/CRA 410 sprint car field in the main event at Santa Maria, Brody Roa will be teaming with car owner Jayson May for Saturday's USAC West Coast Sprint Car race at the Ventura Raceway. It will be the first appearance of the year for Roa in the series that he was champion of in 2016. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, California, will be making his second appearance of the year at Ventura on Saturday. On June 11th, he drove his own #91R to the second-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event there. On that night, he dogged the winner the entire race and was glued to his tail at the end. Roa was clearly the faster driver, but the track was one groove on the bottom. The 31-year-old's only option to win the race would have been to knock the leader out of the way. Unlike many drivers, Roa raced the leader clean and ended up second. Saturday's appearance at Ventura will be Roa's third time in May's car in 2022. In addition to the win at Santa Maria, he drove in two races at the Central Arizona Speedway in February. The first night, he had a big lead in the yellow flag-plagued main event when he ran out of fuel late in the race and dropped to fifth. Twenty-four hours later on the same track, he placed second in the feature. "That thing rips," Roa told the crew of the Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast last Sunday when referring to May's car. "Obviously, it beat the 410s at Santa Maria. That place was rough on both ends. Sticky as can be in three and four and slick and dusty in one and two. Kind of tricky. Kind of proved how good that 360 runs." 299776312_608117861026768_3287346288671129253_n.jpg Jayson May's #8M is ready for Brody Roa to race at Ventura on Saturday. May Motorsports photo. Roa comes into this week's action following what can best be described as a rough Saturday in last week's USAC/CRA Series race at Perris Auto Speedway. As he put it to the cast on the podcast, "I would like to pretend last night did not happen." Coming into the night off two straight series wins, Roa was the defending champion of the California Racer's Hall of Fame Night. In qualifying, he turned in a time of 16.903. That was six fastest of the 21 cars on hand. It also gave him a good shot at starting on the front row of the main event. However, it ended up being the only bright spot on the night. Being the second fastest car in his 10-lap heat race, Roa was starting fifth. All he had to do was finish one spot ahead of where he started to assure himself a spot on the front row of the main event. He took the coveted fourth position going into turn three on the first circuit. However, it all started to unravel from that point! Going into turn three on the third lap, Roa was going by the third-place car. Suddenly that car slid up the track and pushed Roa into the wall. Both of Roa's right side wheels were on the top of the crashwall. Somehow, he managed to steer the car off the wall, and while he lost territory to the third-place car, he did not lose a position. After gathering it back in, Roa had reeled in the top three by lap five and was racing on the wide line. Suddenly, the leader came to a near stop in Roa's line. With nowhere to go, Roa got his car wooed down just as the other car took off. Simultaneously, the yellow came out. One lap into the restart the same car that slowed in the cushion slowed again directly in front of Roa leaving him nowhere to go. Roa got into the back of the slowing car and ended with a flat right front tire. Mercifully, his heat from heck ended before the crew could finish changing the tire. Roa still had a good starting spot for the main in eighth. Sadly, it was just one of those nights. On lap two, a car slid across the track in turn four and knocked Roa into the fence. The clash damaged the front end of the #91R and knocked it out of the race. That ended the nightmare of a night and left Roa with a frustrating 19thplace finish. If you wish to hear the aforementioned Dirt Tracks and Rib Racks podcast with Roa, you can do so at the following link https://spoti.fi/3cjQrLL. Roa has a busy month of September on tap. He will be back in May's car for two West Coast Series races. The first will be at Bakersfield on the 10th and two weeks later on the 24th at Ventura. Sandwiched in between, he will be back at Perris in the #91R for the USAC/CRA Glen Howard Memorial on the 17th. In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Bryan White takes aim at USRA Stock Cars track championship

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 24, 2022) - Bryan White looks to complete his first full season of racing at Lucas Oil Speedway in style on Saturday by nailing down the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars track championship. The 21-year-old from Lebanon takes a two-point lead over 19-year-old Mason Beck of Urbana into Rempfer Memorial Championship Night. Asked if the battle of young guns is fun or stressful, White laughed and said "kind of both." "I'd like to be about 20 points ahead of Mason, but sometimes that don't happen," White said, adding that he will try to approach the final night of Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series action the same as usual - even though it basically comes down to which driver finishes ahead of the other. "You just have to go out and race," White said. "Whatever happens, happens. You get to paying attention to where he's at, you'll mess up and he'll end up beating you." To make things even more interesting, White's dad, Rob White of Lebanon, is just 12 points behind Bryan. So if the youngsters both have a bit of trouble, Rob White is poised to jump ahead of them celebrate a championship. "It's gonna be one of us three, depending on who beats who," Bryan White said. "We'll see what happens." No matter what happens, it's already been a banner season for Bryan White with two feature victories at Lucas Oil Speedway with seven top-five finishes. He has won eight features overall in his USRA Stock Car. White drove it only a handful of times at Wheatland in 2021, running primarily at Lebanon Midway Speedway after moving up from the Midwest Mod division. "It's gone really good; better than I expected, really" Bryan White said. "I bought a new motor over the winter and it's really helped out a lot. "This division is really fun. Everybody is so close, it's hard to get just one car that's faster than everybody else. They're all really competitive." White joked that racing with his dad is fun, with some bragging rights involved. "It's kind of competitive all week long. If one of us beats the other, we get to talk crap all week," he said, with a laugh. Bryan White got his start in racing six years ago in a Pure Stock at Midway Speedway. By the end of the year, he won two features and a track championship. He moved into the Midwest Mod division the next season before the Stock Cars caught his eye a couple of years ago. "Scotty (Allen) started them up at Dallas County and that's when I had my Midwest Mod," White said. "I watched them over there and liked them. I sold my (Midwest Mod) over the winter so I could drive a stock car." He's found the USRA Stock Car division not only has competitive racing, but camaraderie that seems a notch higher as well. The Whites and Will Garner out of Lebanon always pit together and help each other on race nights. Beck isn't far away and, while an on-track rival, also has offered help if needed. "We're all rivals, but friends at the same time," Bryan White said. "A lot of the other classes, it seems if you're fast and rivals, it doesn't seem like you talk as much in the pits." While he would be happy for his dad or Beck if they emerged with the championship, Bryan White clearly would like to be the one celebrating on Saturday night. "It would mean a lot. Not everybody can say they won a track championship at Lucas Oil Speedway," White said. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds also is hotly contested with Dillon McCowan of Urbana leading Centralia's Dustin Hodges by 17 points. Kris Jackson of Lebanon can clinch his seventh Lucas Oil Speedway championship in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods with a solid finish. Jackson is 30 points in front of Springfield's Ryan Gillmore. The Hermitage Lumber Late Model division sees the largest gap as Larry Ferris of Nevada is 93 points in front of Jefferson City's Tucker Cox. Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. The program is named to honor Harold "Rowdy" Rempfer and his wife, Julia, who were killed in an automobile accident four years ago. Rowdy was the mayor of Wheatland and he and Julia both worked at Lucas Oil Speedway. Concert before racing: The Old Paths quartet from Atlanta, one of the premier gospel groups in the country, will hold a pre-race concert at 5:30 p.m. The quartet of Tim Rackley, Douglas Roark, Daniel Ashmore and Steve Ladd has multiple No. 1 songs produced and record on the Sonlite/Crossroads label. They will perform at the speedway as part of a tour that includes a concert at Silver Dollar City in Branson on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The Old Paths Racing Team, featuring Late Model driver Thomas Langley of Parish, Alabama, is scheduled to compete in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model Division. Final Kids' Power Wheel races: The final round of Kids' Power Wheel racing is set for Saturday during intermission with a season champion crowned in each class. Races are held on the front stretch as youngsters ages 3-9 can enter their own battery-powered Power Wheel cars by signing up for the Frogs Jr. Fan Club on the south end of the Midway prior to the races.

  CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINTS HEAD NORTH TO BATTLE WITH BCRA

  (Torrance, CA, August 22, 2022) The Southern California-based California Lightning Sprint Car Series will journey north to lock horns with the BCRA in rounds two and three of the annual Civil War Series this Friday and Saturday, August 26th and 27th. Friday's action will take place at the Kyle Larson/Brad Sweet/Colby Copeland promoted Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico. Twenty-four hours later the two series will battle it out on the famous red clay of the Placerville Speedway. unnamed.jpg The first round of the annual Civil War Series took place on April 2nd at the Merced Speedway. In that one, defending CLS and Civil War Series champion David Gasper of Santa Barbara won the main event. The personable teen, who has won six of the first 11 CLS point-paying races in 2022, commandeered the lead from BCRA star Dakota Albright on lap 10 and went on for his first win of the year. Albright hung onto second with CLS regulars Eric Greco of Palmdale and Glendora teen Will Browne placing third and fourth. BCRA driver Harlee Aguilera of Orangevale ended up fifth. This weekend's races will pay Civil War points and CLS regular season points as well. Gasper sits on top of the heap in both. In the Civil War Series, he comes into the night with a 16-point gap between himself and Albright and Greco, who are tied for second. Browne, who is leading the CLS Rookie of the Year chase, is fourth with Aguilera fifth. Going into the shows on the CLS side, Gasper's lead has grown to 39-points over Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer in the season-long championship chase. Dyer is being pressured by Greco, who is just two points behind the California Highway Patrol officer. Camarillo's Cody Nigh is fourth. Five-time CLS series champion and legend Bobby Michnowicz rounds out the top five. After this weekend's races, the CLS will be off until September 10th at Lemoore.

  Davenport Garners First COMP Cams Topless 100 Victory

  LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 20, 2022) - It was Jonathan Davenport's night, winning the COMP Cams Topless 100 Presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions for the first time in his career. Davenport held off a hard charging Hudson O'Neal and Dale McDowell to win the richest late model race in the history of Batesville Motor Speedway - a $50,000 payday in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Presented by Lucas Oil co-sanctioned event. O'Neal was looking to become the first back-to-back winner in the history of the crown jewel event that began in 1993. He climbed from the 16th starting spot to finish second, 1.120 seconds behind the winner. McDowell came home in third, with Tim McCreadie finishing fourth, and Brandon Sheppard in his first Topless 100 start since 2015 rounding out the top five finishers. The win was especially meaningful to the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion as his car owners Lance and Darla Landers call Batesville home. It was one year ago when Davenport lost a last-lap shootout with O'Neal who won the race after the two swapped the lead four times on the final lap. This year history nearly repeated itself as O'Neal and McDowell had climbed to with one-car length of Davenport in the race for the lead when a caution came out with six laps to go in the race. Davenport was able to fight off the two and come home with his first Topless 100 title. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 64th time in his career, Davenport can know check one more bucket list race off of his impressive resume. "That was lot closer than I wanted it to be. I guess Hudson [O'Neal] came from way back, so congratulations to him. I couldn't quite run the top as good down there in three and four. I never really went all the way out there. There was a whole lot of flats. I didn't want to run over a rock and get a flat leading it. I just kept moving around little-by-little. Thanks to Mooney [Starr] and his whole staff here, I mean what a turnaround from last night." "I see the cushion was pushed all the way to the wall, I don't believe I have ever seen that at this place. Like I said I never wanted to go up there and tear my stuff up so I kind of paced myself. I was just trying to keep my tires under me and if one of those late cautions would come out, I still had the stuff to go with. Man, this is so awesome, thanks to Lance and Darla Landers for giving me this opportunity, this one is special," said the winner. O'Neal earned a $20,000 payday for second, but for a moment he thought he might make history by winning in back-to-back years. "I felt like I stood a better chance when we were racing before that caution. Once that caution came out, he has a good clean air car. I knew it was going to be hard and slim to none to get by him unless he would have made a mistake or if I could have put together a couple of good laps who knows. We will take a second from where we started. We have kind of struggled here all weekend and at these types of tracks in general. I feel like we made some good progress here this weekend. We still need to get a little better to start winning these things." McDowell, who won the race in 2004, took home $10,000 for third. "It seems the long runs are better for me. We were able to get to him [Davenport] in traffic, that was the real hope we had, but once the caution came with six laps to go and he got back in the clear it's just hard to do anything. The track raced awesome. You could race all over it tonight." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers-owned, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Race Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Spencer Hughes, Garrett Alberson, Earl Pearson Jr., and Kyle Beard.

  Ferris dominates for another Late Model win in Lucas Oil Speedway spotlight feature; Jackson, Hodges, Beck also prevail

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 20, 2022) - Larry Ferris wad dominant from start to finish Saturday night, leading all 25 laps in Lucas Oil Speedway's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series spotlight feature. Ferris, of Nevada, picked up his fourth feature victory of the season and solidified his hold on the Hermitage Lumber Late Model championship chase. He wound up 4.7 seconds in front of runner-up Dalton Imhoff and earned $1,000 for the triumph. Other feature winners on Public Safety Appreciation Night Presented by KOLR were Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Dustin Hodges (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Mason Beck (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars). Ferris unofficially extented his points lead to 93 points over Tucker Cox. He started on the pole and roared away from the start with JC Morton giving chase in the early going. Morton pulled alongside Ferris going into turn one on lap six, with third-place Dillon McCowan about 10 car lengths behind. Over the next four laps, Ferris began to settle in and was able to extend his lead to 1.7 seconds and kept pulling away from there. "The track was good," Ferris said. "JC got his nose underneath me there and I thought I'd better get after this thing or he was gonna get me tonight." As the leaders caught lapped traffic, McCowan and Morton slugged it out for second with McCowan finally getting around Morton on lap 15. But by then, Ferris' lead had expanded to four seconds. It was an easy drive from there as the race remained caution-free to the finish. Ferris wound up a full straightaway-margin in front of Imhoff with McCowan coming home third, Cox was fourth and Bryon Allison finished fifth. Jackson notches another B-Mod win: Closing in on his seventh Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod track championship, Lebanon's Kris Jackson earned his sixth feature victory of the season in the next-to-last points program of 2022. Jackson led all 20 laps and beat Ryan Gillmore, his nearest competitor in the points chase, by 1.2 seconds. Gillmore passed Terry Schultz with three laps remaining to get into second and unofficially stands 30 behind Jackson. "This one means something. Last time we were here we started on the pole and got third," Jackson said. "I had to think about that for two weeks. So we put a little extra time and effort into it tonight." Jackson beat fellow front-row starter Gillmore at the drop of the green and set the pace, opening a one-second led over Schultz and 1.8 over Gillmore when a lap-seven caution slowed the action. It didn't take Jackson long to rebuild his leading margin as the race returned to green-flag action. He navigated through lapped traffic before a caution with three laps to go gave the pursuers one more chance. The advantage of the caution for Jackson was a clear track ahead of him. He took advantage and sailed to the win, finishing about eight car lengths in front of Gillmore with Schultz winding up third. Jackson, who began the night 25 points in front of Gillmore, earned his 22nd feature victory overall this season. Andy Bryant finished fourth and JC Morton, who started 16th, rallied to fifth. Hodges captures USRA Modified thriller: Dustin Hodges scored his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature victory of the season, emerging on top after a frenetic battle with points lead Dillon McCowan over the final two laps. Hodges, of Centralia, finished 2.4 seconds in front of Eric Turner after retaking the lead from McCowan coming out of turn two after the white flag had waved. McCowan wound up spinning before reaching the finish line and wound up 12th. The result sets up a dramatic final-night of the points battle next Saturday. Hodges unofficially closed to within 17 points of McCowan. "Man, the cautions were killing me," said Hodges, who briefly lost the lead to McCowan as the duo came to the white flag. "I seen Dillon coming out of four, seen his nose, and knew he had the run. "I hurried up and threw some front-brake in it and let her eat down in one. Thankfully, we came out on top," Hodges added in victory lane. Jimmy Dowell started up front and led the opening lap, with Hodges slipping past him on lap two. A caution slowed what was shaping up to be a hot, early battle up front that found Jeff Cutshaw and McCowan running 3-4. The race had a rough time settling into any sort of flow, with cautions after each of the first three laps. Once green-flag conditions remained consistent, Hodges started to pull away and had a 2.5-second lead over second-place McCowan by the midpoint on lap 10. But the fourth caution waved on lap 11, wiping out Hodges' three-second lead. McCowan closed onto the rear of Hodges' car coming to the start-finish line with two laps to go, then pulled alongside and briefly took the lead on the inside coming to the white flag. Hodges used a crossover move coming out of turn two to regain the lead and McCowan spun in turn four in a last-ditch effort to pull out the win. Ryan Middaugh finished third with Dowell fourth and Cutshaw fifth. Late pass ends Beck to USRA Stock Cars win: Mason Beck of Urbana thought he had race-long leader Johnny Fennewald passed a couple of times, only to see caution flags wipe out the efforts. But finally, Beck charged past Fennewald with three laps remaining to pick up the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. Fennewald started up front and led through 10 laps and, just as Beck challenged him on the inside in turn two, the race's first caution flew. Those two renewed the battle for the lead as action resumed, with Dean Willie and Rodney Schweitzer right behind. The scenario repeated itself for Beck again three laps later, with another caution appearing just as he had made a pass out of turn two. The scoring revered to the previous completed lap, leaving Fennewald on top once again. Fennewald held off repeated efforts by Beck over the next three laps until another caution set up a four-lap shootout. Beck was able to make the pass as the race resumed, using the inside groove in turn two. The Urbana driver was able to hang on from there, beating Fennewald by three car lengths for his second straight feature victory. "I'm surprised I was patient," Beck said. "I'm usually not that patient. One time I pulled up beside him and made a little contact with him. He came up under caution and let me know that I was number one. It was a good battle. It was pretty fun." Bryan White wound up third with Dean Willie fourth and Schweitzer fifth. White will unofficially take a two-point lead over Beck into the season championship program.

  Davenport Continues Hot Streak with Batesville Preliminary Win

  LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 19, 2022) - Jonathan Davenport continues to show why he the #1 ranked dirt late model driver in the country - leading all 30 laps in Friday's preliminary feature to earn the pole position for Saturday's 30th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 Presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and COMP Cams Super Dirt Series co-sanctioned race will pay $50,000 to win, a record for the event. Spencer Hughes will start alongside Davenport on the front row of the crown jewel event by virtue of finishing second to the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion in Friday's preliminary feature. Hughes was just 0.178 seconds behind the winner at the checkers, earning his best career finish with the series. Neither Davenport nor Hughes have ever won the race which began in 1993. Jimmy Owens, a 2-time Topless 100 champion finished in third followed by Tyler Erb. The current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader and 2008 winner Tim McCreadie roundedd out the top five. Davenport took the lead at the start of the race and looked to be in total control for the first five laps until he started to encounter traffic in front of him. That would allow Hughes to close the gap and draw within two car lengths of Davenport just before the only caution of the race flew with eight laps scored. On the restart, Davenport again pulled out to a healthy lead. Hughes was able to get within striking distance in the waning laps, but Davenport was able to hold his line and never wavered as he went on to pick the win. "It was a very good view from where I was sitting at tonight," said Davenport. "Who knows if it is going to be a tire game tomorrow night. This race kind of surprised us last year with how slick it got. We will have to conserve a little bit tomorrow night. Tonight, I just backed the pace way, way up. I knew I couldn't get by Daulton [Wilson] right there unless he made a big mistake. I was hoping that Spencer and Jimmy couldn't get by me unless I did." Hughes gave it his best shot at Davenport and came home in second. "I didn't want to see that caution. I got back to him there when he first caught lapped traffic and I felt like we might have had a shot to at least show him our nose a little bit. He did a great job tonight and we put ourselves in a good position for tomorrow night. We have been pretty good here the last couple of weeks, but we haven't been able to put a whole night together, maybe tomorrow night we can do it." Owens earned the third starting position for Saturday's finale. "This is one of our better race tracks here. We were able to qualify good and win our heat race and come home with a strong third-place finish tonight. Maybe we can get this Ramirez Motorsports car further up- front tomorrow night. We were in the Rocket tonight, we have won races this year in both the Rocket and the Longhorn, it's just been finding something to beat that 49 bunch. It's been pretty tough to do." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers-owned, Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Race Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Earl Pearson Jr., Dale McDowell, Brandon Overton, Ricky Thornton Jr., and Garrett Alberson.

  ROA DEFENDS CALIFORNIA RACER'S HALL OF FAME NIGHT TITLE SATURDAY

  (Cypress, CA, August 16, 2022) When the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series returns to Perris Auto Speedway this Saturday, August 20th, for the annual California Racer's Hall of Fame Night, one of the main drivers to watch will be Garden Grove, California's Brody Roa. Not only is Roa the defending champion of the race, but he comes into the event after having won the last two series races. DSC_5541.JPG Brody Roa will try to make it three straight USAC/CRA wins Saturday at Perris. Charles Fawcett photo. Roa has been a force in some of the Riverside County half-mile oval's signature races over the last 14 months. In May of 2021, he captured the prestigious Salute to Indy. That is a race that dates to the 1940s. Two months later he won the previously mentioned California racers Hall of Fame Night. His win at the track on June 25th of this year came in the first Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial. That race honored National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Jones and his longtime crew chief Scheetz. Both were prominent figures in building the track known as The PAS in 1996 and stayed on to help run it. Roa's recent prowess in the series began on June 25th at Perris. After leading the first lap of the race, the 31-year-old driver drifted back in the field and was fourth as the 30-lap race neared the halfway point. He eventually began clawing his way forward. With four laps to go, he raced back into second. He stayed in that spot until a restart with two laps remaining when he burst into the lead and fought off salvos from the second and third-place cars for his first USAC/CRA win of the year. Two weeks ago after returning from the grueling Indiana Sprint week, Roa jumped into Jayson May's 360 sprint car and posted the win against the field of 410s at the Santa Maria Raceway. Some may have considered that an upset victory for Roa but anyone who has seen his record at the track over the last half-decade, knows it was anything but a fluke. Like his win at Perris on June 25th, Roa's triumph in last year's California Racer's Hall of Fame Night was in much the same manner. In that race, he drove into the lead with two laps to go and waltzed on to the victory. To add intrigue to Saturday's action, fans and race supporters have donated more than $12,000.00 extra to be added to the regular purse. The Billy Wilkerson Fast Time Award will pay a whopping $1,000.00 (plus an extra $400.00 if the fast time breaks the existing track record). Last year Roa was fast qualifier at the CRHOFN. The four fastest qualifiers on the night will contest the Plastic Express Junior Kurtz/Bill Simpson trophy dash. The winner will receive $2,000.00 for that event and second place will pay $1,000.00. Last year Roa finished in a tie for second in the dash. The main event has $5,900.00 posted in lap money with the leader of each lap taking home a minimum of $100.00 all the way up to $700.00. In addition, there will be other bonuses on the night like $500.00 for the best passing job in the main event and $100.00 to the winner of each heat race. Spectator gates will open at 5:00 PM on Saturday, and the first race will be at 7:00. For fans who would like to attend in person, adult tickets are $30.00. Seniors 65 and over get him for $25. For kids 6 through 12 it is just $5.00 and children 5 and under are free. Advance tickets are available at the following link https://www.tix.com/ticket-sales/pas/7 or by calling 1-800-595-4849. For those who do not wish to purchase tickets in advance, there will be plenty of tickets available at the ticket window on Saturday. The fairgrounds charges $10 for parking. The track is located on the Lake Perris Fairgrounds at 18700 Lake Perris Drive in the city of Perris (92571) In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Ferris closes in on Late Model championship, with USRA Modified in the works

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 17, 2022) - The only downside to the 2022 Lucas Oil Speedway season for Larry Ferris is that there aren't enough races to quench his thirst. "I wish we could work something out so we could race more," Ferris said. "I know we've had a couple of rainouts, but I wish we could race 15 or 20 times a year over there." The veteran driver from Nevada has been a force in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division each of the seven times he's hit the dirt this season, posting three feature victories and four runner-up finishes. Add it up, and Ferris has built an 80-point lead in the Lucas Oil Speedway season championship chase over Tucker Cox. He looks to add another victory - and edge closer to his first points title at the speedway - at Saturday's Public Safety Appreciation Night Presented by KOLR. All police, fire and rescue personnel admitted free with ID. The Hermitage Lumber Late Models will be the featured class with a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event. Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars also will be in action. As good as Ferris has been this season, he said results could have been even better. "We've had a pretty good year, but we let a couple of races get away because we made maybe the wrong tire choice. And maybe part of it was the driver, too," Ferris said. "So it's been good, but it could have been better." But he admitted that winning a championship "would be really neat" even though he's never started a season with a specific goal of points racing. "I would to like do it before I quit," Ferris said of a Lucas Oil Speedway championship. "I'd like to check that off my list. Winning races has always been our number one goal. That's what I'm gonna try to do the rest of the year, try to win both races that we have left." Ferris, 51, has been at the top of his game since debuting a Captial Race Car chassis in 2021, when he earned three feature wins at Wheatland in 10 attempts. "We have a far better car than we've ever had," Ferris said. "This Captial Race Car has really changed our program around. We're the best we've been (at Lucas Oil Speedway) for sure. It fits my driving style with very few adjustments needed. The car is just consistent, lap after lap. That's what I like about it." Ferris gives credit to Brian Larimore from Dirt Track Specialists, his son Ryan Ferris and Dave Collins for helping turn wrenches, plus Josh Poe from Scott Bailey Racing Engines. "I shouldn't say anything, but this is the third year on the motor and it has about 1,250 laps on it," Ferris said. "I hope it makes it the rest of the year. I know it will." While Ferris' Late Model season will end with the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night on Aug. 27, he's putting together a USRA Modified to race this fall. There will be a couple of opportunities to run it at Lucas Oil Speedway - during the MLRA Ron Jenkins Memorial program on Sept. 3 and the USRA Nationals Oct. 3-7. Ferris said he last ran a Modified in 1997 "so it might take me a lap or two to get used to it again." "I like racing in the fall when it's cooler," he said. "There's nowhere to race the Late Model. We've had this car for three years now and never have put it together. So we're gonna run it some this fall. Within next 2-3 weeks, we hope to get it done." Special Late Model drivers' meeting: Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton has announced that a special Late Model-only drivers' meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday in the eBay Motors Tech Building to discuss rules for 2023. All Late Model drivers are asked to attend the meeting.

  Record Purse for 30th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100

  Batavia, OHIO (August 16, 2022) - The nation's elite dirt late model drivers will chase a $50,000 top prize this weekend at Batesville Motor Speedway in the 30th Annual COMP Cams Topless 100 - Presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions. The crown jewel event - co-sanctioned by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Presented by Lucas Oil - offers a unique perspective of dirt late models without a roof. The topless aspect gives spectators an up-close look, as drivers wrestle their 800+ horsepower machines around the lightning-fast, 3/8-mile oval. In 2021, a close and dramatic finish saw Hudson O'Neal barely edge ahead of Jonathan Davenport at the finish line. After taking the white flag Davenport went low in turn one for the lead briefly as O'Neal crossed over to regain the top spot heading down the back stretch. Davenport made one last-ditch effort sliding in front of O'Neal as the two headed to the checkers. O'Neal would cross over Davenport, beating him to the finish line by just 0.116 seconds. Brandon Overton, Tim McCreadie, and Jimmy Owens completed the Top-5 finishers. This year's action kicks off on Friday night with a complete program of Dirt Draft Hot Laps, Allstar Performance Time Trials, B-Mains, and a 30-lap, $5,000-to-win main event. Drivers will earn points in Friday's preliminary events that will determine the lineups for Saturday night's finale. The Top-16 in points will be locked into the A-Main, while everyone else will start in a B-Main. On Friday, the pit gate will open at 3:00 PM CT, general admission gate at 4:30 PM CT, with a driver's meeting slated for 7:00 PM CT. Hot Laps are set to begin at 7:30 PM CT. Saturday's festivities will kick off with Dirt Draft Hot Laps at 7:30 PM CT, followed by B-Mains for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/ COMP Cams Super Dirt Series Presented by Lucas Oil competitors. The 100-lap, $50,000-to-win, COMP Cams Topless 100 - Presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions will cap off the weekend. On Saturday, the pit gate will open at 4:00 PM CT, main gate at 4:30 PM CT. There will be a driver's meeting at 7:30 PM CT. Tim McCreadie continues to lead the Lucas Oil Championship Standings, and sports the Midwest Sheet Metal orange spoiler.

  "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON HAS AN IMPRESSIVE NIGHT AT SANTA MARIA

  (Warner Springs, CA, August 14, 2022) Making a rare start at the Santa Maria Raceway in a Lightning Sprint, teenage racer "Shugah" Shane Sexton had an impressive night by setting fast time and placing third in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series main event on August 6th. It was the young driver's first visit to the track since winning a USAC/CRA 410 Sprint Car Series heat race there on July 3rd, 2021. 297282170_574421387661402_8923974225601788818_n.jpg "Shugah" Shane Sexton gets his reward for being the fast qualifier at Santa Maria. Sexton was driving Brian Fonseca's #3F Diablo for his first appearance with the CLS in 2022. He recorded a sizzling lap of 14.161 at 83.892 miles per hour in qualifying. That was the best in the 16-car field and earned the always smiling driver a $100.00 bonus from Savage Racing. Being the fast qualifier in the first eight-lap heat race, the newly turned 19-year-old had to start at the back in sixth. He was only able to finish fifth and that was an early indication that the track was going to be tough to pass on as the night progressed. It also meant that he would not be in the dash and at best would start seventh in the main event. For the main, Sexton was on the outside of row four on the start. The track was more than challenging to drivers including Sexton. Realizing the consequences that could happen at any time, Sexton bided his time. He was up to fifth on lap 15 and went for more in the closing laps of the race. He moved all the way up to third at the finish. Being patient and not being careless, Sexton was one of only four cars to complete all 25-laps of the main event. While Sexton had a great night in the Fonseca car, he was forced to scrap the plan of doing double duty when the engine for his 410 USAC/CRA Sprint Car was not done in time for the race. It will hopefully be back and ready to go for this Saturday's California Racer's Hall of Fame Night at Perris Auto Speedway. Sexton would like to extend a thank you to Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull for the opportunity to wheel their lightning sprint and he would like to thank their team sponsors for making it possible. They are the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment, KB Rod Benders, and MJK Auto Sales. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

  Jonathan Davenport Earns Second Career Sunoco North/South 100

  UNION, KY (August 13, 2022) - Jonathan Davenport rolled to his second career victory in the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil on Saturday night at Florence Speedway. Davenport earned an event record $75,000 for the win to go along with his victory in 2015 in the annual Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series-sanctioned event. Defending race winner Brandon Overton tried to close the gap in the final five laps, coming to within two car lengths of Davenport. However, Davenport would prevail by 1.017 seconds ahead of Overton, who was attempting to become the first back-to-back winner of the crown jewel event since Don O'Neal in 2012 and 2013. Dale McDowell ran in second for several laps before finishing in third behind his fellow Georgians. Ricky Thornton Jr. was fourth and Mike Marlar completed the top five drivers. Davenport and Chris Madden who entered the weekend as the first and second-ranked dirt late model drivers in the country (per the DirtonDirt.com Top-25 Poll) started on the front row of the event held before a packed grandstand. Unfortunately, Madden's night would end before a lap was scored as a broken J-Bar entering turn four eliminated him from the race. Back underway, Davenport would cruise out to a commanding lead. Lapped traffic came into play as McDowell was closing the gap before a caution on lap 56 cleared traffic for the race leader. On the restart Overton was able to get by McDowell for second, as Davenport was already starting to pull away from the field. Overton and McDowell slowly started to reel in Davenport as the leader was encountering heavy traffic in the closing laps. Overton began to diamond off turn number two and close the gap down the backstretch. In the last final circuits, Overton appeared to have a shot at stealing the win from Davenport as the crowd rose in anticipation of a close finish. However, Davenport was able to hold his line to cross the finish line for his second straight Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series crown-jewel event. Davenport in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 63rd time in his career said: "We just made one adjustment from last night. Our car was pretty good, but we just needed one thing to work on. We talked about it all day and that one little adjustment made the difference. These Longhorn Chassis react to the smallest of adjustments that you make on them. At the end it got so slow and slick. I was trying to smash the gas less and less. I saw 76 [Overton] on the board and I knew he was probably getting closer to me. So, I moved up a lane. We were able to get through lapped traffic good again tonight." Overton thought he had a realistic shot if Davenport had not changed his line in the closing laps. "For him not to move, that is what I was hoping for. We were catching lapped cars and I started to move around a little bit. I don't know if I could gain on him. I could get a better run off two, but he moved up in front of me and then the lapped cars were dirtying the bottom back up. Congrats to him, everything's going their way. We will just take our second and go home." McDowell rounded out the podium in third. "Early on I thought we had shot. I think all of us hit our tough spots during the race, we would go and then fade, go and then fade. We were a little bit tight. Jonathan [Davenport] has had an awesome year and Brandon [Overton] is always good it seems like. It's fun racing against these young guys and to keep up with them is good." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers owned, Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Race Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm, Tim McCreadie, Chris Ferguson, Ricky Weiss, and Bobby Pierce.

  O'Neal and Davenport Claim North/South 100 Preliminary Features

  UNION, KY (August 12, 2022) - Hudson O'Neal and Jonathan Davenport captured Friday night's Sunoco North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil preliminary feature wins at Florence Speedway. O'Neal held off a furious last-lap charge from Earl Pearson Jr. to win the first 25-lap main event of the night. Davenport came back to lead every lap in the second feature beating fellow Georgia racers Dale McDowell and Brandon Overton to the finish line. Trailing O'Neal and Pearson across the finish line in the first feature of the night were Bobby Pierce, Zack Dohm, and Spencer Hughes. O'Neal jumped to the point at the start of the first 25-lap race before the caution waved with just one lapped scored. On the restart, O'Neal led Marlar and Pearson for two more circuits until Pearson moved by Marlar for the second spot. Dohm, who had started sixth, moved up to third on the eighth lap and then two laps after another caution had the runner-up spot behind O'Neal. The third and final caution of the race appeared on lap 17 when Marlar slowed with a left-rear flat tire. A restart with five laps to go still saw O'Neal pacing the field with Pearson using the middle line on the racetrack, closing on the back of O'Neal's car with just a few laps remaining. As the two headed down the back stretch on the final lap, Pearson made one final run on O'Neal heading into turn number four as O'Neal slid up in front Pearson coming off the corner. The two charged to the finish line with O'Neal able to hold off Pearson by half a car length which equated to 0.120 seconds the stripe. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the fourth time in 2022, O'Neal felt he primed himself for the $75,000 first place prize being offered on Saturday night. "I knew he [Pearson] was there. I saw his nose a couple of times through the center of the corner. There about three or four laps to go before that caution came out, I just kept getting tighter and tighter. I just couldn't steer around the bottom there at the end. So, we'll have to work on that a little bit. But all-in-all, we had a great race car up until that point. I was just trying to use up the whole racetrack and it worked out." Pearson, who's last series win was two years ago at Florence, nearly pulled one out at the end but fell just short of his 40th career win in Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series competition. "Congrats to Hud on the win. Our car was good there through the middle after that last restart. I thought I could roll him on the outside. He ran my line and I tried to crossover coming off four but came up short. I think for 100 laps tomorrow night we will have something for them." Pierce, who won the event in 2016, rounded out the podium in third. "Our car was good early, then we faded a little bit, and then we got going there late, but we just ran out of laps." The winner's Roger Sellers-owned, Double Down Motorsports, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Lucas Oil Products, Smoky Mountain Speedway, WR1 Sim Chassis, VP Race Fuels, Integra Racing Shocks, and Dynamic Drivelines. Completing the top ten in the first feature were Ross Robinson, Justin Rattliff, Dustin Linville, Victor Lee, and Trevor Landrum. The second 25-lap main event saw Davenport lead every circuit virtually unchallenged. A furious battle for second was taking place behind him between McDowell and Overton as those two drivers went back-and-forth for second in the closing laps. Davenport took the checkers by 2.039 seconds ahead of McDowell. Ricky Weiss came home in fourth and Josh Rice rounded out the top five. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 62nd time in his career the 3-time series champion noted he had a good car through heavy lapped traffic which proved to be the difference in the waning laps. "We got through lapped traffic pretty good there, so that's a good thing. That's something we've really struggled with here lately," said the 38-year-old racer. "We done a couple of things different that we don't normally do, and it seemed to work out pretty good." Davenport, who last won the Sunoco North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil in 2015 narrowly escaped disaster on the front stretch after contact with Jason Jameson with five laps to go, but he held on for his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the year. McDowell, who will be seeking his first win in the crown jewel event on Saturday night, came home in second after the nip-and-tuck battle with Overton. "Last night we weren't very good qualifying, but tonight it was much better. We started off much better qualifying and in our heat race tonight and that led to a good night," said McDowell, who started sixth. Overton, who started alongside Davenport on the front row, never was outside the top three the entire race as the defending Sunoco North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil winner will try to become the first driver since Don O'Neal in 2012 and 2013 to win the crown jewel event in back-to-back seasons. "We had a good car. We'll make some tweaks on it for tomorrow night and see what we have for them." The winner's Lance and Darla Landers-owned, Double L Motorsports Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, Spartan Mowers, ASC Warranty, Bilstein Shocks, VP Race Fuels, Midwest Sheet Metal, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas. Completing the top ten in the second feature was Ricky Thornton Jr., Chris Madden, Tyler Erb, Brandon Sheppard, and Garrett Alberson.

  SEXTON WINS SANTA MARIA CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT SERIES RACE

  (Torrance, CA, August 10, 2022) Two-time California Lightning Sprint Car Series champion Brent Sexton raced to a convincing win when the CLS was part of the reopening of the Santa Maria Raceway last Saturday night. The win, Sexton's first ever at the San Luis Obispo County oval, came before an enthusiastic, sellout crowd. 297991327_3167530226831638_1986578303688048617_n.jpg Winner Brent Sexton (center), 2nd place Jeremy Queener (left) and 3rd place "Shugah" Shane Sexton. CLS Photo. A total of 16 CLS cars showed for the first race at Santa Maria in over a year. Savage Racing Qualifying saw teenager "Shugah" Shane Sexton record the fastest lap with a time of 14.161. Defending CLS champion and current point leader David Gasper of Santa Barbara was second best on the clocks with a 14.275. Five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills turned in the third fastest time at 14.308. T Shirts By Timeless sponsored the two CLS heat races. San Diego's A.J. Bender, who has two CLS winds at the Bakersfield Speedway in 2022, captured the first heat race over "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance, and Michnowicz. Rookie driver Connor Speir of Fillmore captured the second heat over Sexton, who was the eighth fastest driver in qualifying, and Gasper. A three lap trophy dash, sponsored by R&R Racing, Dick Hindman, Timeless Enterprises, and J.J. Ercse, would determine the starting positions for the first three rows of the main event. Bender picked up right where he left off in his heat race and won the dash, too. The victory was worth $230.00. He would start on the front row of the main with Gasper alongside. Third place Robertson was on the inside of the second row and was joined by Sexton. The third row was slated to feature Jeremy Queener of Lake Elsinore and Michnowicz. However, Michnowicz withdrew for the night after the dash. Bender steered Mike Schweitzer's #41B into the lead on the start with Gasper, Sexton, Robertson, and Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer giving chase. The boat captain by trade quickly put some distance between himself and Gasper and was a quarter straightaway ahead by lap 5. Likewise, Gasper had pulled away from third place Sexton. Bender caught up to the lapped traffic on lap 9. That was despite broken wing struts on the front wing of his race car. As the lappers momentarily slowed his progress, Gasper, in the "Kittle-Blue #18," closed in on the leader. He raced outside of Bender going into turn three and snatched first place as they raced off turn four. Bender closed back in on Gasper on lap 11. He tried to go by on the inside in turn one. By that time of the night, turns one and two looked like a lunar landscape and Gasper maintained the top spot. Conditions continued to deteriorate on the same end of the track and Bender got way sideways in turn two on the 13th circuit. By the time he recovered, Sexton had raced by for second. Three laps later, series leading rookie Will Browne spun in the same spot where Bender got sideways. Gasper who was not far behind, could not avoid the white #8 and plowed into him. The current point leader broke a shock and bent his front axle and was knocked out of the race. However, it could have been worse. As the race was scheduled in June, it was not a traditional points race. All drivers who showed received the same amount of points. Thus, Gasper will have the same point lead at the next race. When the race resumed, Sexton, who has two wins and is the point leader in the POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series, had Bender on his tail with less than 10 circuits remaining. That is, he had Bender behind him until lap 22 when the #41B broke a chain tensioner and the chain ripped all the teeth out of the back sprocket. Bender's exit gave Sexton a commanding lead. When the checkers ended the race, he was nearly a half track ahead of the competition in his Sexton Fire Protection/BK Wings/ Johnny Motorhead/Troy Dirt/Victory Graphix/Swift Powdercoat/ Maxima Oil/Automated Interior/Scotty and Jimmy Keys #44. Queener ended up second with Sexton's nephew, "Shugah" Shane Sexton, third. Robertson and Bakersfield's Leland Day were the first two CLS regulars across the line and they finished fourth and fifth respectively. It was the best 2022 series finish for both. "Me and my boys are running the Minkota Nationals next week," Sexton told the massive crowd after the race. "So, I wanted to come out here and shake the car down. It worked out perfect. Hopefully, it will be a shot in the arm for us back in the Midwest. It is great to see Santamaria back open again. This place is awesome. Hopefully, we can keep doing it." Sexton pocketed the lion's share of the lap money when he took home $250.00. Bender grabbed $200.00 before his exit and Gasper pocketed $175.00 before his early dismissal. The drivers and staff of the CLS would like to thank the following for making the race possible. Timeless Enterprises, Savage Racing, Dyer Motorsports, Sexton Fire Protection, Speir Racing, Kittle Motorsports, Dick Hindman, JJ Ercse, R&R Racing, Schweitzer Motorsports, Gasper Racing, Greco Racing, Chris Dickie, Win Now Racing, and Dave Miller. The CLS is now off until August 26th and 27th when the club journeys north to battle the BCRA on two of its local tracks, the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, and the Placerville Speedway. In addition to being the next two-point paying races for the CLS, the events will be rounds two and three of the annual Civil War Series. Savage Racing Qualifying: 1. Shane Sexton, 14.161; 2.

  BRODY ROA DRIVES 360 TO VICTORY IN USAC/CRA 410 RACE AT SANTA MARIA

  (Cypress, CA, August 9, 2022) Fresh off a trip to the Midwest for Indiana Sprint Week, California sprint car racer Brody Roa did what only six other drivers have done in 23 years of USAC/CRA Series racing. The veteran driver steered a 360 cubic inch car to victory when he bested the field before a sellout crowd at the Santa Maria Raceway last Saturday night. 297879254_2204237209743457_8079382424926505894_n.jpg Brody Roa drove Jayson May's 360 to the win in the USAC/CRA 410 main event at Santa Maria. SCRAFAN.COM photo. Roa jumped into the Jayson May #8M for only the third time in 2022. The Garden Grove, Californian did admirably all night long against a field that was filled with the fastest non-wing 410 sprint cars on the West Coast. To start the night, he qualified seventh fastest in the 31-car field with a lap of 14.498. That qualifying time placed the 31-year-old Roa in the third heat race. Starting on the inside of the next to the last row, the "Pride of Garden Grove" bobbed and weaved his way forward to finish third. When the 30-lap main event rolled onto the 1/3-mile semi-banked oval that first hosted racing in 1964, Roa was on the pole in the white, bright orange, and blue #8M. However, the veteran racer had more to battle than just the other 21 cars in the field. Turns one and two had deteriorated by the time the main event rolled off and would add an extra challenge to all the drivers. In addition, the racing groove was very narrow and around the bottom in turns three and four. To say the least, it was a very technical track that was going to test the skills of all the drivers. After the original start was botched due to several cars near the back getting together, Roa raced into the lead on the restart. He slowly but surely pulled out to about a five-car length advantage by the time lap five rolled around. He maintained that buffer until a red flag halted the action on lap nine. When the race resumed, things had changed. The five-car length lead dissipated and the new second place driver, Tommy "Thunder" Malcolm, applied the heat to Roa. The race-long leader managed to fend off Malcolm's challenges until turn four on lap 15 when the pursuer suddenly became the leader with an inside pass. Being relegated to second did not deter Roa. He kept the heat on the new front-runner and six laps later, on the worn-out turn two surface, drove around him and reclaimed the lead. From that point on, Roa hit all his marks and went on to win his second consecutive USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series main by a comfortable margin. "We were back and forth (in the pit area) after the heat race wondering if we should set it up for three and four or one and two," the happy winner explained to the crowd after the race. "On a track as technical as that, this end was night and day different from that end. This Tommy Malcolm (second place finisher) kid might be here to stay. That was two in a row that I was worried about him. Congrats to him and his guys and congrats to Daniel Whitley on finishing third. I cannot say enough about this May Motorsports team. This is a 360 that Winfield builds. It is a family operation. They are awesome to be associated with." While he is not racing for points in USAC/CRA in 2022, Roa has clearly been the hottest driver in the series since the end of May. In the four starts since May 28th, he has a third-place finish, a second, and has won the last two races. That gives him a dazzling 1.75 main event finishing average in those events. After taking this weekend off, Roa will be participating in one of the most popular races on the USAC/CRA Series Schedule, the annual California Racer's Hall of Fame night at Perris Auto Speedway. On the Thursday before last year's edition of the race, Roa flew with his wife Tailor and their daughter Addi to start their family vacation in Montana. At 6:00 AM on Saturday morning, Roa flew back to Southern California for the race. It proved to be a very smart decision. To start the night, he was fast qualifier (really, that is not a joke). He then placed second in the dash. In the 30-lap main event, he took the lead on lap 28 and went on to the victory. In addition, he also received the "In The Spirit Bagley Family Award" which went to the highest finishing family-owned car. At 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, he was back at the airport heading to Montana to rejoin the family in "Big Sky Country." In 2022, Roa is racing in the USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  Ramirez makes it a three-peat at Lucas Oil Speedway's USMTS Show-Me Shootout

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 6, 2022) - Dereck Ramirez did it again Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, winning his third straight USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment. Ramirez, the reigning United States Modified Touring Series champion, won for the second straight night, following up his win at Humboldt Speedway on Friday. Ramirez led all 42 laps to take home $10,000. "I did all I could. I manhandled that thing. This is not my kind of race track," Ramirez said after his ride on the high side throughout was enough to win against at Lucas Oil Speedway. His three USMTS wins are the most by any series driver at the track. Ramirez held off Darron Fuqua by 1.1 seconds for the victory with series points leader Dustin Sorensen rallying from eighth to third. Ramirez had to hold off fifth-starting Jake O'Neil for much of the last half of the 42-lap feature. Ramirez grabbed the lead at the start and set the pace, opening a 1.5-second led over fellow front-row starter Fuqua before a lap-five caution bunched the field for a restart. Ramirez led Fuqua by one-second with Jake O'Neil third as the trio broke away by nearly a straightaway-margin over fourth-place Tyler Davis by lap 14. But lapped traffic soon came into play and Fuqua pulled right behind Ramirez over the next several laps with those two darting in and out of slower cars. O'Neil took advantage and got past Fuqua on lap 20 and then set out a path to try and catch the leader. He was within four-tenths of a second on lap 22 when the race's second caution calmed the battle - at least temporarily. With clear track ahead as the race returned to green, the three frontrunners again pulled away from the rest of the field as the laps dwindled. With five circuits remaining in the 42-lapper, Ramirez and O'Neil again caught lapped traffic. Lance Mari's car slowed to a stop and brought out another caution to set it up for a five-lap dash to the finish. "He timed it right," Ramirez said of O'Neil. "I was going for a slider with some of those lapped cars and he rolled the bottom. As I was sliding, he was coming back forward and it's hard to keep up when they're going that. "I'm just glad that yellow came out because I think he was underneath me right there going into one. I don't know if he'd have beat me coming out of the corner, but that spooks you enough to drive into the corner the next time too hard and end up in the wall over there and that's not good. Fuqua got around O'Neil on the restart and Ramirez capitalized, opening up a five-car-length lead. Fuqua closed the margin with three laps to go, but Ramirez went on to prevail by about 10 car lengths. "We're close. I feel like we're on good company now," Fuqua said. O'Neil faded to sixth with Davis coming home in fourth and Tanner Mullens fifth. Gillmore grabs USRA B-Mod feature win: Ryan Gillmore led all 20 laps to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win, outdistancing Kyle Slader and Kris Jackson. "The car was lights out," Gillmore said, noting that he was unsure how it would take to a track reworked during intermission. "The car was perfect. I about messed it up on my own that first lap, but got my compsoure together and made it work." Gillmore started outside of Jackson on the front row and won the race for the lead as the green flag flew. He built a 2.1-second led by lap eight when a caution slowed the action and erased Gillmore's comfortable margin. "I was expecting at any moment for Chris to find something on the bottom," Gillmore said. "I moved to the top on the restart and kept my eyes peeled to know if I had to play defensive or not. I was watching the board and and I knew when (the camera operator) wasn't looking at just me, that was a good thing." Slader drove around Jackson two laps after the restart but could not keep up with the leader. Gillmore's lead was back to 1.3 seconds through lap 15 and he went out to drive away to finish 1.9 seconds clear of Slader. Jackson, the season points leader with Gillmore not far behind, finished third with Brian Bolin fourth and Jon Sheets came home in fifth. Beck leads all the way for USRA Stock Cars win: Mason Beck never looked back, leading all the way to capture the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature. It was Beck's first official victory of the season after his apparent recent win was wiped out after a disqualification in post-race tech. "I was dang sure gonna win it tonight," Beck said in victory lane. Beck led from the start and was .711 seconds in front of Jaylen Wettengel when the first caution flew on lap eight. Dean Wille moved around Wettengel and into second on the restart as Beck continued to lead. Hendrix joined the top three by lap 15, but no one was a match for Beck as the Urbana driver pulled away over the final laps to win by two seconds over Robert White, who beat Wille by a couple of free for the runner-up spot. "I knew I had some heavy hitters behind me," Beck said. "I saw Dean Wille and knew he was starting behind me.

  "SHUGAH" SHANE SEXTON DOUBLING UP SATURDAY AT SANTA MARIA

  (Warner Springs, CA, August 5, 2022) When it comes to being busy, West Coast open-wheel driver "Shugah" Shane Sexton always has more than enough on his plate. That is why it should not be a surprise that the teenage driver will be doing double duty when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car and California Lightning Sprint Car Series' converge on the Santa Maria Speedway this Saturday night, August 6. 297121009_10225755973623827_5395968017135417835_n.jpg "Shugah" Shane Sexton's car just waiting for an engine earlier this week. Sexton photo. The teen from Warner Springs, California will be climbing back into his 410 sprint car for the first time since a spectacular lap two main event crash at Perris Auto Speedway on April 29th. His brilliant red car flipped several times going into turn 1 and ended up against the crash wall. With fans holding their breath, the personable driver scampered from the car uninjured. The GAS Chassis did its job and protected the driver but was heavily damaged in the crash and was done for the night. While that tangle put an unplanned vacation to his 2022 410 plans, Sexton has been in action driving Northern California car owner Brian Fonseca's Diablo Chassis lightning sprint. At the end of May he drove the car to a second place in the POWRi Lightning Sprint Car Nationals at the Central Missouri Speedway. Last month he steered the same #3F to a win and a fifth-place finish in the preliminaries for the annual Clay Cup at Washington's Deming Speedway. One of the pre-race favorites for the Finale, he got caught up in someone else's mess in turn one on the first lap of the main event. The tangle knocked him out of the race before he had a chance to shine. Even though he has only started six USAC/CRA main events in 2022, "Shugah" Shane enters Saturday's race 21st in series points. After Saturday's race at Santa Maria, Sexton will stay busy as he will return to Perris Auto Speedway for the California Racer's Hall of Fame Night on August 20th. Spectator gates at Santa Maria will open at 4:00 p.m. and racing will begin at 6:00. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo (93444). Sexton would like to extend a thank you to Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull for the opportunity to wheel their lightning sprint and he would like to thank their team sponsors for making it possible. They are the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment, KB Rod Benders, and MJK Auto Sales. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

  BRODY ROA RETURNS FROM INDIANA SPRINT WEEK IN TIME FOR SANTA MARIA

  (Cypress, CA, August 4, 2022) After competing in Indiana Sprint Week for the first time since 2019, California veteran sprint car racer Brody Roa will be right back in action when the USAC/CRA Sprint Car Series hits the track this Saturday night, August 6, at the Santa Maria Raceway. Roa will be behind the wheel of the familiar #8M owned by Jason May. 297600357_594988459006375_2859684926541153518_n.jpg Brody Roa will be in Jayson May's #8M at Santa Maria on Saturday. Jayson May photo. After being shut down due to Covid in 2020, the Santa Maria Raceway, which first hosted racing in 1964, reopened in 2021. However, circumstances that had nothing to do with racing, caused the track to be shuttered a little over a year ago. Much to the dismay of fans and drivers alike, rumors swirled that the popular track was done for good. But persistence by the track operators paid off and the facility roars back to life on Saturday for the first time in 2022. Like all drivers, Roa was ecstatic to hear the track was reopening. His prowess at Santa Maria has been phenomenal and is second to none in USAC/CRA competition there since 2017. In the seven series races at the San Luis Obispo County 1/3 mile oval over the last five seasons, the affable Garden Grove, California racer has only finished worse than second two times. One of those results was a third-place finish. His other five appearances produced three wins and two second-place outcomes. Saturday's race will be Roa's first time back in May's car since a pair of races at Central Arizona Speedway on the second week in February. At the first night of action at the track located in Casa Grande, Roa had a good size lead when his car started running out of fuel in the waning laps. He ended up with a frustrating fifth-place finish. Twenty-four hours later he placed second at the same venue. Indiana Sprint Week consisted of eight races in nine days. One of the races, the Terre Haute Action Track, was rained out. Another at the Lawrenceburg Speedway was rained out just before the main event. In seven nights of competition in the "Hoosier State," Roa, 31, qualified for the main four times. Racing against the toughest fields of the year, the mains he qualified for were at Lawrenceburg (the rainout), Circle City Speedway in Indianapolis, Bloomington Speedway, and the Tri-State Speedway. "Well we're finally home from Indiana Sprint Week," Roa told his Facebook followers on Monday. "So glad to get home to my girls, my wife Tailor, and our daughter Addi. That was a long two weeks away. Our Sprint Week I feel was pretty solid even though the end results don't show so much. Poor qualifying efforts on the driver's end, as usual, set us way back for the rest of the night. Any feature we missed was by one or two spots after coming from deep in the semi or C main. A huge thank you to all of the people that made this trip possible and my amazing wife for holding down the fort at home. I know it wasn't easy." For fans who would like to see what Roa and the #8M can do on Saturday, the gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. Santa Maria Raceway is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo (93444). Roa will get a week off before returning to action in the California Racer's Hall of Fame Night at Perris Auto Speedway on August 20th. That night will feature $1,000.00 for the fast qualifier, $2,000.00 to win the trophy dash, and over $5,000.00 in main event lap money. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022.

  Batavia, OHIO (August 5, 2022) - One of the highly anticipated events of the season, the 40th Annual Sunoco North/South 100 Presented by Lucas Oil, will roar to life August 11-13 at Florence Speedway. The expanded format of the storied event adds $60,000 to the weekend purse in 2022, bringing the grand total for three days to over $300,000, the richest event in Florence Speedway history. Since its inception, a diverse group of twenty-seven different drivers that includes renowned veterans and rising young stars have graced the North/South 100 Victory Lane. A field of 27 assembled at Florence Speedway for the inaugural North/South 100 in 1983, which saw Pat Patrick lead 60 laps to earn the victory and a $4,000 payday. The event purse increased to an astounding $50,000-to-win in 2003. Dan Schlieper took the lead from Brian Birkhofer with five laps remaining to earn the victory and the record-breaking prize.

  Lucas Oil Speedway's Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races another big success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 4, 2022) - The annual Lucas Oil Speedway Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night at the Races, held last month during the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series, has proven to be another big success. Fans donated 3,143 pounds of food that will provide 2,619 nutritious meals to neighbors who struggle with hunger in the Ozarks Food Harvest's 28-county service area, said Denise Gibson, Director of Development and Communication for the organization. "During the summer months, when school-funded meals aren't available, your donation works even harder to keep children nourished," Gibson said in a letter to Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton. She added that the organization provides meals to more than 50,000 individuals per month. Since 2008, Lucas Oil Speedway has collected more than 74,000 pounds of food to help provide more than 60,000 meals for Ozarks Food Harvest and their hunger-relief partner Hickory County Cares. "We're honored to partner with Ozarks Food Harvest and it's always gratifying to see our fans rise to the occasion to help in such an important cause," Lorton said.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: USMTS series leader Sorensen looks to extend Wheatland success

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 3, 2022) - Growing up in the cold winters of southeastern Minnesota, Dustin Sorensen loved playing ice hockey as a slap-shooting forward. Rising to the level of top-level youth hockey, Sorensen was on the fast track toward possibly becoming a college recruit. But all the while, another fast-paced sport - one that had deep roots in his family - fought for his attention. Young Dustin had a knack for racing dirt modifieds. He was winning B-Mod races as a 12-year-old and, by the time he was officially old enough to drive, was ready to graduate into A Mods. Dustin's dad, Mike, had been a big winner in USRA Modifieds for several years before hanging up his helmet. "After high school, I decided that I wanted to stick to racing," Sorensen said of the choice he had to make between his two favorite sports. It's been a solid decision as the 21-year-old has become one of the nation's best, leading the USMTS standings with the home stretch of the season beginning. Sorensen rolls into Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday for the 13th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment atop the championship chase and on a track that he likes. Second in the Show-Me Shootout last August, Sorensen swept all three nights of the USRA Modified portion of the 2021 USRA Nationals at Wheatland. The Rochester, Minnesota driver begins a three-race weekend USMTS swing 107 points in front of Tanner Mullens and 179 clear of third-place Dereck Ramirez, the reigning series and Show-Me Shootout champ. While drivers in his position often deny thinking about points, Sorensen is honest about his situation, with 15 races remaining in the USMTS season. "That's our goal, to win the points," Sorensen said. "Every night, I'm trying to at least finish and not put myself in any bad situations. I'll be a little more cautious, but winning is still the main goal, every night. "I wasn't really expecting to be in the situation that we're in now, but I wanted to be. My goal at the start was to try and make a run at the national points deal." It wasn't that long ago that Sorensen began racing "Slingshot" cars on a small oval inside the main track at Deer Creek Speedway. After moving into the B Mod, he said his summers were extremely busy with racing and travel hockey. He said he was "all right" as a hockey player and that his dad wishes he had chosen hockey. "He's still a little made I gave it up for racing," Dustin Sorensen said. "He thought that would have been a little smarter choice, at least when I was a little younger." Sorensen said he even move to Omaha as a high school sophomore to play on an elite team, but returned to Minnesota after that season. "That was interfering with racing," he said of being several hours from home, "so then I moved back home and played regular high school hockey and raced," he said. Eventually, he gave up the skates and stick. A fan of the NHL's Minnesota Wild, Sorensen said there might be some correlation between the hand-eye coordination that it takes to play hockey and drive a race car, where instant reaction is vital to success. The toughness he learned from hockey, especially on the mental side, is a definite benefit. "I think it's huge with racing," Sorensen said. "You see guys get on hot streak and then kind of fade for a little while and then are able to come back. Confidence is a huge thing." Asked about future goals in racing, Sorensen said he doesn't spent a lot of time thinking about it, though driving a dirt Late Model would be appealing if sponsorship became available. Otherwise, the focus is on the near term. "We have 15 races left and the next three are what I have on my mind right now," he said. The three-race swing for the USMTS begins on Thursday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, and continues Friday at Humboldt Speedway.

The event is happening just two months before the 9th Annual Summit USRA Nationals in October, so look for a big car count with O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars and Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods also on the program.

  Lucas Oil Speedway plays host to 13th annual USMTS Show-Me Shootout on Saturday

  WHEATLAND, MO. (Aug. 2, 2022) - What annually has become one of Lucas Oil Speedway's top races each season returns on Saturday as the stars of the United States Modified Touring Series pay a visit to the dirt oval. It's the 13th annual USMTS Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout Presented by Foley Equipment with a payday of $10,000 awaiting the feature winner. Reigning USMTS champion Dereck Ramirez of Woodward, Oklahoma, will be seeking a third straight victory in the event. Ramirez dominated the 40-lap feature last August, beating runner-up Dustin Sorensen by 1.828 seconds to become the first Show-Me Shootout repeat winner. It was a key win as it helped send Ramirez toward the season title. This season, Ramirez will be looking to launch a rally to catch Sorensen in the USMTS points chase. Sorensen, of Rochester, Minnesota, has five series feature victories in 2022 and leads Kansas driver Tanner Mullens by 107 points and Ramirez by 179. The USMTS has made 15 prior visits to Lucas Oil Speedway with Kelly Shryock, Jeremy Payne and Terry Phillips joining Ramirez as two-time event winners. Jason Krohn, Ryan Gustin, Johnny Scott, Zack VanderBeek, Stormy Scott, Rodney Sanders and Mullens each have one win at Wheatland. The three-race swing for the USMTS begins on Thursday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kansas, and continues Friday at Humboldt Speedway.

  CORRECTION TO THE CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT SERIES PRESS RELEASE

  (Torrance, CA, August 1, 2022) Correction to the California Lightning Sprint Car Series press release. Eric Greco won the July 23, 2021 race at the Santa Maria Speedway. The complete corrected release appears below. ***************************************************************************************** For years, the Santa Maria Raceway was one of the most popular stops on the annual California Lightning Sprint Car Series schedule. However, when the 2022 schedule was released, drivers and fans were saddened to see that the Santa Barbara County clay oval was not listed. That all changes this Saturday night when the CLS is part of the grand reopening of the 58-year-old facility with its "Historical Little 1" main event. Last year the CLS had four dates booked at the track. However, after the second appearance on July 24th, the track was shuttered for something that had nothing to do with racing. There were questions as to whether the semi-banked 1/3 of a mile would ever see another race. Fortunately, the word came out in June that the track would reopen and one of the classes invited for opening night was the CLS. "More often than not, racetracks shuttering their doors has been the way times have been going," said longtime racer and first-year CLS President Jon Robertson. "It's extra special to both myself and the entire California Lightning Sprint family to be part of the resurrection of a racetrack, especially one with such a long history as the Santa Maria Raceway. I've personally participated at a lot of races at Santa Maria over many years, it's a unique facility with a great surface and a fantastic fan base. I've always seen great crowds and equally great races there. It will be something special to once again be able to experience it all at a track that we thought we lost. My hope is that this is just a new beginning to be followed by many more seasons to come." Going into Saturday's race, David Gasper, who calls Santa Barbara home, has won six of the 11 races on the 2022 CLS schedule including the last four in a row. The 2021 CLS champion recently moved into the series point lead and brings a 39-point advantage over Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer heading into the event. Palmdale's Eric Greco is currently third and only trails Dyer by two points. Camarillo's Cody Nigh and five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills make up the remainder of the top five. Greco was the fastest qualifier and posted the second of his four wins in 2021 at the track on July 3rd. He will be back on hand this Saturday. The last CLS race at Santa Maria came three weeks after Gasper's triumph on July 24, 2021. On that night, San Diego's A.J. Bender won the main event in the Mike Schweitzer-owned #41B. The bad news for the competition is that the Bender/Schweitzer combo will be returning to battle this Saturday. Due to Bender's rides in the USAC/CRA Sprint Car and USAC Western Midget Series, he has only made three CLS races in 2022. In those two races, he has posted two wins and a seventh-place finish. In addition, he won the Bay Cities Racing Association opener on March 26th at the Placerville Speedway. Thus, he has three wins in four lightning sprint starts in 2022. In addition to the drivers mentioned above, a full field of CLS regulars is expected to be on hand on Saturday including the complete top nine in points. Joining them will be the current POWRi Southwest Lightning Sprint Car Series point leader Brent Sexton, and the 2021 SWLS champion, his son Grant. The Lakeside-based duo has won four of the first eight SWLS races in 2022. A Sexton relative, "Shugah" Shane Sexton, who a couple of weeks ago won one of the preliminary main events at the prestigious Clay Cup in Washington will head north from his Warner Springs home for Saturday's race. He will be driving the same Brian Fonseca-owned Diablo that he drove to victory in the "Show Me State." Joining him in another Fonseca car will be Orangevale's Harlee Aguilera who is currently second in the BCRA championship point standings. Bender, Grant Sexton, and Shane Sexton will all be doing double duty at Santa Maria as they will all compete in the USAC/CRA Series as well as the CLS. Saturday's CLS main will pay $100 to take the green flag. As it was a late addition to the schedule, it will not be a traditional points race as all money is being paid out to the racers. Drivers who show up will receive double sign-in points (40 points). In addition to the CLS and USAC/CRA Sprint Cars, the IMCA Sport Mods and Dwarf Cars will also be in action. Adult tickets start at $17.00. For military, seniors (65+), and students with id, tickets start at $15.00. For kids, 6-12 tickets start at $6.00. Children 5 and under are free. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with racing at 6:00. The track is located at 1900 Hutton Road in Nipomo (93444). After Santa Maria, the CLS is off until August 26th and 27th when the club journeys north to battle the BCRA on two of its local tracks, the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, and the Placerville Speedway. In addition to being the next two-point paying races for the CLS, the events will be rounds two and three of the annual Civil War Series. California Lightning Sprint Car Series Point Standings 1.

  SHANE SEXTON GETS WIN IN CLAY CUP PRELIMINARY

  (Warner Springs, CA, July 31, 2022) Warner Springs, California teenage driver "Shugah" Shane Sexton scored a huge win in the second night preliminary for the annual Clay Cup at Washington's Deming Speedway. The victory was the first in 2022 for the recent high school graduate. 294300941_1658893784492141_3051717262848817953_n.jpg "Shugah" Shane Sexton after his win in the Clay Cup preliminary main event in Washington. As was the case when he finished second on a preliminary night at the POWRi Lightning Sprint Nationals at the Central Missouri Speedway in May, Sexton was again wheeling the Brian Fonseca owned#3F Diablo. The first night in the "Evergreen State," things started off good for the personable driver. He timed in 12th fastest with a lap of 11.976 in qualifying. He did that without brakes. When his heat race came around, he rolled onto the track still sans brakes. He started on the pole in the eight-lapper and did a masterful job bringing his car home second. The team thrashed to solve the brake problem and they did so in time for "Shugah" to take his fourth place starting spot in the 25-lap main event. When the checkered flag fell, the impressive young driver had a fifth-place finish. Night two saw Sexton time in at 11.245. That was 15th quick. Issues forced him out of his heat race after only two laps. However, things went perfectly for him in the main event. The talkative racer led every single lap in the 25-lap affair and at one point, had gapped the field by more than two seconds. For the finale on Saturday, the only race in Sexton's class was the championship main. With two top-five finishes, one of which was the win 24 hours earlier, Sexton was one of the pre-race favorites. Unfortunately, some drivers near the front of the pack had not heard the adage that you cannot win the race on the first lap. A multi-car tangle going into turn one on lap one left several drivers with nowhere to go. One of them was Sexton. He slid into the mess and was clobbered by the car behind him, which also had nowhere to go. A broken shock and a bent axle knocked him out of the race less than five seconds after it started. The result was an extremely frustrating 21st-place finish. Sexton will be on the track a couple of times in August. On August 6th he will be doing double duty driving in the USAC/CRA and California Lightning Sprint Series when the Santa Maria Raceway reopens for the first time in more than a year. Two weeks later on August 20th, he will be back in the #74 410 sprint car at Perris Auto Speedway for the annual California Racers Hall of Fame Night. Sexton would like to extend a thank you to Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull for the opportunity to wheel their car in Washington and he would like to thank their team sponsors for making it possible. They are the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment, KB Rod Benders, and MJK Auto Sales. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Hodges finds his USRA Modified groove in first full season at Wheatland

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 27, 2022) - Dustin Hodges had competed at Lucas Oil Speedway occasionally over his racing career, but decided prior to the 2022 to commit to the haul from Centralia on a regular basis for the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified division. "We finally came to a point and said, 'it's time to learn that track.' Man, that place is a little bit of a different animal to most any other track," Hodges said. "The car needs a little something different there so … we tried to commit the time to make the laps and find out what it takes to make the car happy, to get around that place fast." Hodges has indeed been fast in his No. 22 Vanderbuilt chassis, picking up his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature victory on July 9. He has 10 top-five feature finishes and is second in points, 49 behind Dillon McCowan, entering Saturday's 25-lap, $1,000-to-win main event on Fan Appreciation Night Presented by KIX-105.7 Townsquare Media. The 33-year-old Hodges said that feature win "was pretty awesome." "We've been racing there a number of years," he added. "Of course, we've only been there hit and miss. To finally get a win … that's been the one track we raced at we haven't been able to get a win. So that was nice. It really meant a lot to finally get the monkey off our back and get it done there." Hodges said he got his start in Modified racing 13 years ago after competing in motocross as a youngster. "It got to a point where I wasn't going to be able to do that anything," Hodges said. "I got an opportunity to jump in a Modified for a guy. He figured I was fearless in motocross and wanted to put me in a seat belt with a roll cage and see how I'd do. It kind of took off from there." So he competed in a Modified at Callaway Speedway in Fulton, near his hometown, in those early years and was inspired by Danny Crane, a top-flight Modified competitor who now, ironically, is Hodges' engine builder. "After that I bought my own car and we moved to a B-Mod and ran that for about four or five years," Hodges said. "Then I felt it was time to move up to the (USRA) Modified." Asked if the motocross background translates to car racing, he said it does in some ways such as throttle control. "That and the competitive part were comparable," he said. "But as far as learning set-ups and all that stuff, it was a different animal." Hodges said he became friends with Zack VanderBeek, a national-touring Modified competitor from Iowa, and that has really benefited his program. "I watch and I learn from Zack," he said of the USMTS driver. "He's been a blessing, being patient with me and allowing me to learn a lot of set-up stuff. He's really sped the learning curve for me." Joining VanderBeek on the USMTS circuit would be an ultimate dream, but Hodges said the finances simply are not there to make that happen. "I maintain a job and have a family, a wife and a two-year-old," he said. "If I could pick up that one sponsor that it takes to go on the road, I'd love to make it happen and see what we could do." Meanwhile, Hodges said his goals the rest of the way are to win as many races as he can. He has six overall, including the one at Wheatland. "It would be nice to go ahead and win the points championship at Callaway," he said of the Friday-night venue. Racing for a title at Lucas Oil Speedway is not realistic because he's going to have to miss a race or two late in the schedule due to vacation commitments. "I would like to finish top-10 in USRA (national) points. That would be pretty neat," he said. "Unfortunately, we're gonna miss a few races near the end of the season. But if we could still finish top 10, that would be pretty cool." Hodges' crew includes his uncle John Doerr and friend Kyle Harrison. Team sponsors are Danny Crane Race Engines, Foundation Recovery Systems, Mid-America Carpenters Union, Melloway Fast Traps, Iron Gate Real Estate, The Drain Doctor, Rich and Chris Mobile Home Transport, Danny Means Drywall, Show-Me Heating & Air and Flood Zone Motorworks. "I'm just a local guy trying to make it work in a very expensive sport," Hodges said. Food and drink specials on Saturday night will include $1 nachos and cheese, $2 hot dogs and $2 soft drinks or waters. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods, O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars, Hermitage Lumber Late Models and Show-Me Vintage Racers also will be in action.

  DAVID GASPER WINS FOURTH STRAIGHT LIGHTNING SPRINT CAR RACE

  (Torrance, CA, July 25, 2022) Two weeks ago when the California Lightning Sprint Car Series visited Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway, it took 23 laps for David Gasper to take the lead and win the main event. Last Saturday night at Ventura, it only took until turn two on the opening lap for Gasper to grab the top spot and then walk away for his fourth consecutive series win. The triumph gave the personable teen six wins in 11 CLS starts in 2022. 294070989_3157239741194020_1818848445051240778_n.jpg Winner David Gasper surrounded by second-place finisher Jeff Dyer (left) and third-place Cody Nigh. CLS photo. Fourteen CLS drivers showed up for the race on the 1/5-mile oval on the pleasant night. Among the 14 were three champions who account for 33% of the titles in the clubs first 27-years. They were Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills, who has five titles, three-time champion Jarett Kramer of Spring Valley and defending king Gasper. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer was the fastest of the 14 in West Evans Motorsports Qualifying with a time of 12.246. Just a breath behind in second was Camarillo's Cody Nigh who stopped the clocks at "The Best Little Dirt Track in America" with a 12.260 lap. Gasper was third, and right behind the lead duo at 12.316. After starting third in the Extreme Muffler eight-lap heat race, Gasper steered his Kittle Motorsports/Certified Construction/Rattlesnake Ridge/Valley Precision Products/Martin Roofing/B2 Design/Hyper Race Cars/Saldana Race Products #18 to the win over Dyer and Michnowicz. Kramer, who was driving a team car owned by fellow series champion Michnowicz, thumped the field in the CSI Shocks heat race winning by nearly ½ track over "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance and Palmdale's Eric Greco. The lineup for the 11th CLS main event of the 2022 season saw Nigh on the pole with Gasper alongside. Ventura local Robb Pelmear sat on the inside of the second row with Dyer, who in nine previous CLS starts this year had only finished out of the top four once, next to him. Kramer and Gasper staffed row three. When the field set sail, Nigh and Gasper were side-by-side into turn one. As they came off turn two, Gasper planted the "Kittle Blue" #18 into the lead. Nigh, Dyer, and Greco were second through fourth at the end of the first circuit. Michnowicz ended up being the biggest mover on lap one when he used the outside to go from eighth to fifth. Gasper immediately put some distance between himself and the competition. He continued to move away until a lap seven yellow flag came out when Pelmear spun in turn two. The top five was in the exact same order for the restart as it was at the end of the opening circuit. Once the race restarted, Dyer pushed his #4 to the inside of Nigh coming off turn two. He got a drive and took over the second-place spot. While Dyer was passing Nigh, Michnowicz went another route. He took to the outside and passed Greco for fourth entering turn one on lap eight. By the time Dyer and Michnowicz advanced their positions in the standings, the hard driving teen at the point had already begun reconstructing his previous advantage. By the time lap nine rolled around, it was nearly a half straightaway again. Chris Kornder waved the second yellow flag of the event on lap 12 and once again, it briefly brought all the competition to Gasper's rear end for the restart. This time the top five was a little shuffled up with Dyer second, Nigh third, Michnowicz fourth and Greco fifth. With Gasper gapping the field like usual when the race restarted, Michnowicz continued his march forward by passing Nigh for third on lap 13. However, that would prove to be the series all-time leading winners last hurrah on the night. His car seemed to slow on lap 16 and coming off turn two on the 17th go around, he fell dramatically off the pace bringing out a yellow flag. His night was done due to an overheating engine. To make matters worse for the team, a few laps from the finish, Kramer, who was in fourth, slowed in turn four and rolled to a stop with a blown fuse. It was obvious that the only thing that could have beaten Gasper on the night was a tsunami rolling off the Pacific Ocean. Fortunately, that did not happen and Gasper won the main event by nearly a half straightaway. Dyer maintained second with Nigh not far behind in third. Gardena's Dominic Del Monte equaled his season best finish when he crossed the line in fourth. Greco ended up fifth. Ventura's Josh Hackett, making his third start with the CLS, won the Speed Mart/Advance Racing Suspension/Hepfner Racing Products Hard Charger Award coming home eighth after starting 14th. Gasper increased his point lead to 39 markers. Dyer, who had gone from leading the points to third, moved up to the runner-up position with his second place finish. Greco is third but is only two points behind Dyer. Nigh sits fourth with his uncle, Michnowicz, in fifth. Despite missing the race waiting to get his engine back, Will Browne of Glendora remains the leader in the Rookie of the Year chase. Fillmore's Conner Speir, who dropped out of the main event early and finished 14th, is second to Browne. Despite his misfortune in the main, he cut Browne's advantage to 40-points. The CLS returns to action a week from Saturday on August 6th at the highly anticipated reopening of the Santa Maria Raceway. CLS officials are still collecting lap money for that race and three laps are still available. If you would like to purchase a lap (s), they are $50.00 each. You can use the contact information in this release for Jon Robertson to confirm payment or ask any questions. After Santa Maria, the CLS is off until August 26th and 27th when the club journeys north to battle the BCRA on two of its local tracks, the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, and the Placerville Speedway. In addition to being the next two point paying races for the CLS, those two events will be rounds two and three of the annual Civil War Series.

  Davenport Becomes First Three-Time Winner of the Silver Dollar Nationals

  GREENWOOD, NE (July 24, 2022) - Jonathan Davenport became the first three-time winner of the Imperial Tile Silver Dollar Nationals on Sunday night as he captured the 80-lap $53,000 to win event. The 38-year-old Georgia native also won the race in 2016 and 2018. Davenport, who started seventh in the field charged to the lead on lap 74 around Tim McCreadie, who led the race for the first 73 circuits. Davenport pulled away to a 1.472 second advantage over the current series point leader as the checkers fell. Devin Moran finished in third after rallying from his 13th starting spot. Mike Marlar finished in fourth keeping his streak alive at 16 consecutive top five finishes since mid-June. Earl Pearson Jr. ran as high as third in the race but finished in fifth. McCreadie jumped to the lead from his outside front row starting spot as he led Ricky Thornton Jr. for the first 17 laps of the race until Bobby Pierce, the 2019 SDN winner moved into the runner-up slot. Pierce stayed in second until Marlar was able to overtake him on lap 46. The first of three caution flags during the race came on lap 48. After the restart Pierce fell to sixth as Pearson moved into third. The top three of McCreadie, Marlar and Pearson stayed that way until two caution flags within a three-lap span enabled Davenport to become a factor. After the last caution of the race with 20 laps remaining Davenport was third and by lap-62 he had moved by Marlar for second after battling with Moran for several laps. Davenport slowly reeled in McCreadie as McCreadie was having to deal with heavy lapped traffic, closing the gap. With six laps to go Davenport was able to take over the race lead which he held to the finish. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 61st time in his career Davenport picked up his second $50,000-plus victory of the year with the series to go along with his win in the Historic 100 in June at West Virginia Motor Speedway caught McCreadie and said traffic played a major role in him getting the lead. "Just him (McCreadie) getting into traffic that was it. I didn't think we was that good really until we got some clean air on the nose, and I could start moving around a little bit. Once we got to third or fourth and I think Devin was on the inside of me and I could never arc the corner to come all the way down to catch the traction. Once I cleared him then I could start running about the same line McCreadie was and we started to track him down a little bit," said the three-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Serie Champion after scoring his third series win of the season. "Then there was lapped traffic that's the only way we got by him. I would rather pass anybody in the pit area but him. He is one of my best buddies on the road and we share a lot of information. It's good to see him running good and hopefully he can get this championship. Thanks to Joe and Steve (Kosiski) for sure. I hate to see them go. I don't know what the future holds for this place, but it's an awesome racetrack. It's one of the last big places that races really good." McCreadie, who was looking for his second career Silver Dollar Nationals win to go with his victory in 2017 fell just short of leading wire-to-wire. "On the long green run I was good. Then on that one yellow where we were riding around and riding around, I think it just greased my stuff up a little. I just didn't fire as good as I had been on the other restarts. It was just one of those deals," said the driver of the Paylor Motorsports entry who brought home a $20,000 payday for second. Moran, who took home $15,000 for third ran door-to-door with the eventual winner for a handful of laps during the race. "I was kind of married to that bottom but as the race went on the grease kind of went away. At the end it felt like the best grip it had. Once I could clear cars and arc down the track it was really good. I got up beside JD a few times and I was right there on him I just couldn't get by him. This place never ceases to amaze me. I thought for sure they didn't do enough track prep; I thought it would be one-lane and it wasn't. It races awesome each and every time we come here."

  Garner captures first USRA Stock Cars victory in Lucas Oil Speedway headline feature

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 23, 2022) - At last, William Garner of Lebanon was able to celebrate an O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway. After finishing at runner-up the last two outings, Garner led all 25 laps to grab the headliner on Saturday night's program. He earned $750 for the triumph, holding Ed Griggs for the win. Other feature winners on Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by KY3 were Eric Turner (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds), Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods) and Larry Ferris (Hermitage Lumber Late Models). Garner had three second-place finishes overall this season at Lucas Oil Speedway, his first in the USRA Stock Cars division. "This class is a blast to race with," said Garner, whose best friend Bryan White leads the season standings with White's dad, Rob, second in the points. "Everybody is just super-good racers. The top 10, any of the could win any night. It's an awesome class. "I have to thank Josh and Mitchell Franklin of Franklin Motorsports. They gave me a heck of a race car," Garner added, rattling off a list of other sponsors in his victory lane interview. "I'm probably forgetting some because I'm still in shock," a smiling Garner said. Garner grabbed the top spot as the race went green, out-sprinting fellow front-row starter Rodney Schweizer entering turn one. Ed Griggs moved by Schweizer and into second on the first lap that's how the running order stayed through 13 laps. That's when third-running Scheizer spun to bring out the race's first caution. That put season points Bryan White into third with Rob White fourth. Griggs continued to stay right behind Garner as the race returned to green, but Garner remained glued to the inside groove and Griggs had no answer. Garner took the checkers by .907 seconds with Bryan White winding up third, Mason Beck fourth and Rob White fifth. Turner hangs on for USRA Modified win: Eric Turner picked up his first Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory of the season, hanging on to beat Jason Pursley by .094 of a second in the 20-lap feature. "We've had a monkey on our back and happy to be here," Turner said of the road to victory lane this season. Andy Bryant started on the pole and led the first 11 laps, losing the lead on the backstretch as Turner went around Bryant and Jason Pursley. Bryant and Pursley had waged a fierce battle for the lead, sometimes running side by side, for five laps prior to Turner's third-to-first move. Bryant, while running third, spun on lap 15 to bring out a caution, forcing him to the back of the pack for a restart. Turner worked the low line around the pavement to stay in front and was two laps from the win when a caution flew for Lucas Dobbs' spin on lap 18. That set up a green-white-checkers finish with Turner, Pursley and Dustin Hodges running 1-2-3. As the race resumed, Turner held off a charging Pursley by a half-car-length as Pursley made a tremendous move out of turn four on the final lap, first going outside and then diving inside near the start-finish line. "I didn't want to see a yellow," Turner said. "I was trying to be patient out there and conserve, when the track's good like that. Just keep my line, keep my head on. We finally got some things clicking. We had a little water leak, but we're good to go." USRA points leader Dillon McCowan rallied from eighth to third with Ryan Middaugh fourth and Dustin Hodges fifth. Jackson earns another Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod win: Chalk up a fifth Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win for Kris Jackson of Lebanon, as he was able to lead all 20 laps to hold off Ryan Gillmore by half a second for the win. Jackson make it 20 wins overall in 2022 with his latest Lucas Oil Speedway triumph in what was a good two-car battle throughout. "I could hear him that whole race," Jackson said of Gillmore. "I don't know if he was trying the outside lane or not, but I knew if I made one little bobble he'd be there." Gillmore took to the high line on lap four and began to make up ground after Jackson had opened up a 1.2-second lead in the early going. Jackson, the six-time track champion, continued to maintain the low line around the dirt oval as the duo neared lapped traffic by lap 14. Gillmore was within .202 seconds, but Jackson suddenly opened up a 1.3-second lead as he used a lapped car as a sort of shield as the laps ticked away. But with only three laps to go, a caution for a sliding car on the back stretch bunched things for a sprint to the finish. Gillmore had a big run as action resumed, pulling alongside with two to go but Jackson was up to the challenge, holding on to prevail by three car lengths. Colson Kirk wound up third, JC Morton was fourth and Andy Bryant finished fifth. Late Models feature goes to Ferris: Not even a new young gun could slow veteran Larry Ferris' charge through the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division as the Nevada driver picked up his third feature win of the season. Ferris beat Dillon McCowan - the track's USRA Modified reigning points champ - who was making his Late Model debut. Ferris rolled away from the start, from the pole position, and opened a 1.6-second lead over McCowan just four laps into the action. A lap-four caution wiped out that lead, but it didn't keep Ferris from re-opening a similar command by lap 10. Ferris went on to by nearly two seconds over McCowan to further stretch his widening points lead. "The track kind of locked down and I had to get in front because it was going to be hard to pass," Ferris said. Byron Allison finished third with Larry Jones fourth and Kayden Clatt coming home in fifth.

  Madden Continues Career Season with Go 50 Triumph at I-80

  GREENWOOD, NE (July 21, 2022) - Chris Madden continued what has become the best season of his career, winning the Dirt Track Bank Go 50 on Thursday night at I-80 Speedway. The 47-year-old South Carolina native took the lead at the start of the main event and led flag-to-flag for his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. Jonathan Davenport crossed the line in second as he was 1.925 seconds behind the winner at the finish. Bobby Pierce charged from the outside of the tenth row to round out the podium in third and earn the Optima Batteries Hard Charger of the race. Mike Marlar finished in fourth as he continued a streak that started in mid-June with his 15th consecutive Top-5 finish. Brandon Sheppard completed the Top-5 finishers. In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 17th time in his career, Madden had to battle lapped traffic for several laps before pulling away from Davenport for the win. "At that moment of the race when I split those lapped cars, I was too tight, and it was breaking my momentum going into three. I just wasn't carrying enough corner speed. I had to back off there and set them up at the right time to make the right move. We had a great race car on the long runs as usual. We are trying to find something here and there for the short runs. You never know when this is going to turn around. That's the way racing is. This is an amazing place. I appreciate what the Kosiski's have done here for many years. I haven't been here many times, but it's one of my favorite places to come to. It's a long way from home, but we definitely enjoy it." Davenport, who along with Madden are the top two earners so far in 2022 came home in second. "He [Madden] made a couple of good moves in traffic. I was probably just one adjustment off to be able to run with him. Tomorrow he'll probably make one and then I maybe will be two adjustments off then. He was pretty good tonight, and we were too. We tried a little something and it just didn't work, I was just a little too tight there." Pierce, who was not in attendance last year at I-80 made his return a memorable one on Thursday night with a stirring 20th to third place run. "It was a fun track tonight, I'm glad to come back to I-80. It's been a good racetrack for me. It has won us a lot of money here. It's tough. You must get up on wheel here especially starting where I did. Unfortunately, we had to start back there. I would have liked to have started up front to see what I had for JD and Chris, maybe that can happen Saturday night." The winner's Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Drydene Performance Products, Franklin Enterprises, Henderson Amusement, Millwood Plumbing, VP Fuels, Penske Racing Shocks, Worley Monument, DirtCar Lift, Davis Diesel Service, and Swift Springs. Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Tim McCreadie, Stormy Scott, Earl Pearson Jr., and Hudson O'Neal.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Spotlight: Garner on brink of breakthrough USRA Stock Cars feature win

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 21, 2022) - William Garner has done everything but win a feature race this season in Lucas Oil Speedway's O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars division, finishing as runner-up three times. The 22-year-old from Lebanon is confident that first win is coming soon. But for starters, Garner is going to have to drive his way past two of his closest friends to get it done. "I grew up with Bryan White. He's my best friend and Rob is like my other dad," Garner said of the Lebanon son-father duo who are 1-2 in the Stock Cars points battle. Just a couple of weeks ago, Garner finished second as Rob White picked up the feature win and Bryan ran third. "I grew up with them and have been around racing with them forever," Garner said. "I would go with them and Bryan started racing and now we're all in Stock Cars. It's pretty fun when we go 1-2-3." Garner looks to find his way to victory lane again on Saturday night at Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night Presented by KY3. Fans can attend free by bringing four non-perishable food items to the main gate. The USRA Stock Cars will headline the action with a special 25-lap, $750-to-win main event. The Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds, Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods and Hermitage Lumber Late Models also will be in action. Garner said since he's fixed motor issues that plagued him early in the season, he's been on a winning trajectory. He said better draws for his heat race and then earning a better starting spot in the feature would be helpful in leading to a win. "We have a good car, thanks to my parents, along Josh and Mitchell Franklin," Garner said. "They've helped me a lot. We just need a little luck on our side now. "I help Josh in the winters and in my free time to build cars. My free time over there I built this car over the winter and he coached me how to do it. We pretty well did it together." Each week finds the Stock Cars battling it out side-by-side, sometimes three-wide in arguably the best racing action of any of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series divisions. Garner, asked if the close racing was fun or stressful, gave a quick and decisive answer. "I think it's a blast," he said. "Really, about any night, any of the top 10 could win. You have a lot of good drivers in that class, a bunch of talent for sure. It's fun racing side-by-side like that, just being able to race with guys and have a good time." Garner said he got his racing start a couple of years ago at Dallas County Speedway, where he was helping out the Whites and he got to take one of their Pure Stocks for a spin after the races. He got his own car the following year, first a Midwest Mod and then a Stock Car. "Josh Franklin gave me the opportunity to get one of his cars and we went from there. That's how we got into this deal," Garner said. The Lebanon contingent of Garner and the Whites pit together each week on Friday nights at Dallas County Speedway and on Saturday in Wheatland. They are quick to lend each other a helpful hand when needed. Garner said his dad, Jeremy, serves as his crew chief and lends plenty of support, both in knowledge and with encouragement. After three straight second-place runs (two at Lucas Oil Speedway and one at Dallas County) and nine top-fives in 17 events overall, Garner's goal is simple. "I'd like to win at Lucas and at Dallas County," he said. "I'd like to get some wins and do good in (USRA) national points." Team sponsors include Josh Franklin Motorsports, Albright Racing, the Perkins Family, Court Probationary Services, Garner Construction, Arrowhead Building Supply, Icon Race Graphics, Richard's Carpet and Eagle Machine.

  14-year-old Virginia driver Brown wins Legends thriller at Lucas Oil Speedway Midweek Madness

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 20, 2022) - Carson Brown, a 14-year-old from Moseley, Virginia, prevailed in a three-car, blanket finish to capture the Legends main event at Lucas Oil Speedway's Wednesday Night Midweek Madness. Brown scored his 10th career victory by beating Dawson Sutton and Keelan Harvick as the top three were separated by less than a half-second as the checkered flag flew. Other feature winners in the special weeknight program for divisions that don't normally race at the speedway were Scott Campbell (Midwest Mods), Bradley McDowell (Pure Stocks) and Justin Day (USRA Tuners). Brown made the long trip to the Midwest worth it, making his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. He came away impressed by the experience. "It's a really cook track," Brown said. "It slicks off a lot. It was really cool to experience that for the first time." Justin Comer started up front and led the first six circuits before Brown took over the top spot on lap seven when the race went to caution for the first time. Sutton, who started sixth, drove into second on lap eight with seventh-starting Harvick advancing into the third position. Following a lap-nine caution, Harvick, the 10-year-old son of NASCAR star Kevin Harvick, moved around Sutton and into second. Brown and Harvick continued to run 1-2 when action was halted with a red flag on lap 17 after Braxton Rupp flipped his car in turn three. Rupp emerged from the wreckage without injury, but the body on the car was destroyed. Sutton made the pass of Harvick to get back into second as the race resumed with Brown continuing to lead. Fourth-place Dave Comer and Harvick brushed on lap 20 with Comer slowing to a stop to half the action again and set up a five-lap sprint to the finish. Brown held on from there to take the win by a scant .183 seconds over Sutton. Harvick pulled alongside Sutton nearing the finish but could not get by and finished third. Justin Comer wound up fourth and Sean Johnson finished fifth. "We were struggling there a little bit. We were a little bit tight in the center," Brown said. "But everybody raced me really clean and it was a really fun race." Campbell earns Midwest Mods victory: Scott Campbell of Rogersville took the lead on lap two and held off Anthony Ferrara the rest of the way to take the Midwest Mods main event. Campbell held on in a two-lap shootout at the finish to prevail by .773 seconds. "Dean Hoover is a big part of this," Campbell said of his long-time sponsor, a member of the Ozarks Area Racers Foundation Hall of Fame. "So is Mike Striegel. He helped me put a body on it and set the car up." Campbell started third and was in fourth at the completion of lap one, but went to the lead the next time around, sailing around first-lap leader Jeremy Lahey. Ferrara moved into second on lap four and was within a half-second of Campbell when the race's first caution flew on lap seven. As the race resumed, Campbell had a terrific restart to open up a five-car-length margin over Ferrara before another yellow flag slowed the action. Campbell had another good restart and led by 1.2 seconds as another caution appeared just three laps later. The field got only one lap in under green before a five-car pileup in turn four brought out the fifth yellow and put the race at its 20-minute time limit. That means a green-white-checkered, two-lap shootout to the finish. Campbell was up to the challenge once again, hugging the low groove as he did throughout the 14-lap event. Ferrara beat ninth-starting Steve Muilenburg by a car length for second. Dustin Dennison finished fourth with Dayton Newell fifth. Bradley wins Pure Stocks feature: Bradley McDowell of Eldon crossed the finish line in second place, but was elevated to the winner of the Pure Stocks feature after apparent race winner Mason Beck was disqualified in post-race technical inspection. Beck started on the pole and drove away to a 1.8-second lead over McDowell by lap six, when the race went to caution for the first time. After two more cautions, the race remained green the final eight laps and McDowell finished about a dozen car lengths Beck. McDowell picked up his fourth Pure Stocks feature win of the season, with two coming at Lake Ozark Speedway and one at Double X. Derek Brown officially wound up second with Grayson McKinney third, Leroy Morris fourth and Preston McDowell fifth. Day all the way in USRA Tuners: Justin Day of Lebanon started outside of row one and drove away to lead all 15, caution-free laps for the USRA Tuners feature win. Day finished 1.1 seconds in front of David Kirkpatrick, who had a five-second margin over third-place finisher Brandon Vignoe. "No cautions the whole night," Day said of the Tuner portion of the show. "I appreciate (Lucas Oil Speedway) putting the Tuners on this card. We're trying to grow this class in this area and this is an awesome facility to race at." Gregory Owens finished fourth with Daniel Barton fifth in the Tuners' lone appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway before the USRA Nationals in October.

  BRODY ROA HEADS TO INDIANA SPRINT WEEK

  (Cypress, CA, July 19, 2022) For the first time since 2019, Southern California sprint car racer Brody Roa is headed to the grueling Indiana Sprint Week. Beginning Friday at the Gas City I69 Speedway, Sprint Week will feature eight races, on eight different tracks within the space of nine days. Roa, who lives in Garden Grove, heads into Sprint Week after winning the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris Auto Speedway on June 25th. That victory came two weeks after a second-place finish in the USAC/CRA main event at the Ventura Raceway. PAS 6_25_22=91r Win=5327-3#FDE5.jpg Brody Roa salutes the crowd after his win in the inaugural Bubby Jones/Ray Scheetz Memorial at Perris on June 25th, Doug Allen photo. While the win was his first of the 2022 campaign, Roa has had a good first half of the season. Thus far in 12 sprint car starts, the 31-year-old has 10 top 10 finishes and seven top fives. In addition to his starts in sprint cars, in January at the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he placed 15th in his preliminary night A Main, and 13th in the C Main at the finale. Trying to put the fun back into his racing, over the winter Roa made the decision to not race for points in 2022. Thus far in those twelve main events starts, he has raced with four sanctioning bodies. The bodies are the aforementioned USAC/CRA Series, ASCS/CAS, and the winged King of Thunder and the World of Outlaws Series. Roa, and his father Brett, left on the trek to the Midwest on Tuesday night. It will be their fifth Indiana Sprint Week. However, this time around they will be missing award-winning crew chief Zac Bozanich and longtime mechanic Joe Gibb who was unable to make the trip. The Roa's will be joined by regular crew member Tyler Stockton and Pennsylvanian Zach Hollinger for the eight nights of action. "Oh, I am excited," the "Pride of Garden Grove" said when asked if he was pumped to be going back to Sprint Week. "It is going to be fun and it is going to be exciting. What I am looking forward to the most back there is the same as every trip. Lawrenceburg! I love going there." One thing that every driver must be concerned about right now is the tire situation. They are hard to come by for everyone including Roa. "It is still a little questionable," the driver frustratingly explained. "I think I found enough tires that were in good shape. Jason May (who owns the #8M 360 Roa occasionally drives) basically cleared his trailer out of what he had. That puts us in really good shape on left rears. I don't know if we will even have to get a left rear while we are back there. I have one new medium, so at least we are showing up with something for the right rear. I have talked to some people about some good takeoffs they have. So, we have some tires to at least get started during the week. I just have to be sure we bring some home to hopefully run Santa Maria on August 6th in Jason's car." After Friday's race at Gas City, the series will travel to Kokomo Saturday, Lawrenceburg on Sunday, and the Circle City Speedway on Monday. Tuesday will be a night off before returning for the second half of the series on Wednesday at Terre Haute, Lincoln Park on Thursday, and Friday at Bloomington. The series will wrap up on the 30th at Tri State Speedway. As soon as that race is over, Roa will high tail it back to California to prepare for the reopening of one of his best tracks, the Santa Maria Raceway on August 6th. Roa thanks all his sponsors for being able to take on Indiana Sprint Week and extends a special thanks to HD Industries, Burris Racing, and Inland Rigging who came up big for this special trip. For fans who collect racing shirts, see Roa at each race. He will be bringing his newly released shirts on the trip and will have plenty available. Local fans who cannot make it to Indiana for Sprint Week can catch all the action live on Flo Racing. Full details on how you can watch are available at https://www.floracing.com/. In 2022, Roa will race USAC/CRA, USAC National, and other select events, in his #91R BR Performance/HD Industries Eagle. He will also drive the #8M for May Motorsports in select USAC West Coast events. The 2019 USAC Southwest and 2017 USAC West Coast champion is always open to discussing other driving opportunities. Roa and the team want to thank the following sponsors for making the 2022 season possible. HD Industries, Burris Racing, Sander Engineering, Inland Rigging, Caltrol, "Biker" Bruce Fischer, Competition Suspension, ALR Virtual Services, K-1 Race Gear, Molecule, Rod End Supply, Driven Racing Oil, Baldwin Filters, and NGK Spark Plugs. In addition, the veteran driver offers thanks to RDM Mechanics, Fastenal, Coopers Propane, Ten West Towing, Ten West Environmental, TJM Distribution, and Westco International for sponsoring the #8M he will pilot for Jayson May on 10 occasions in 2022. If you or your company would like to jump on board and receive recognition as a team partner throughout the 2022 racing season, please give the two-time USAC champion racer a phone call or drop him a note at the contact information on the top of this release.

  Tim McCreadie Wins First Ever Lucas Oil Series Visit to Huset's Speedway

  Brandon, SD (July 19, 2022) - Tim McCreadie made it a memorable first ever appearance by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series on Tuesday night at Huset's Speedway. The reigning series champion and current points leader took the lead with ten laps to go to record his fourth series win of 2022. In a hard-fought race that saw three different leaders McCreadie came from the sixth starting position for his 32nd career series win. Mike Marlar charged from the 12th position to finish in second. Tyler Erb rebounded from fifth after the last caution of the race to claim third at the checkers. Brandon Sheppard wound up in fourth and new track-record holder Hudson O'Neal completed the top five finishers. Erb bolted to the lead at the start of the 40-lap main event ahead of fellow front-row starter and pole sitter Garrett Alberson. Garrett Smith then made his presence known taking over the second slot on the second go round. Smith stayed in second until McCreadie got by him on lap ten as a hotly contested race for the second spot was developing. Erb held the top spot until Ricky Thornton Jr. came through the field to grab the lead by lap 13. Thornton's wall-banging effort kept him out in front until lap 30 when McCreadie pounced on the chance to take the lead on the 30th circuit. A caution with 33 laps scored bunched the field one final time but McCreadie had smooth sailing the rest of the way on the restart to take the win by 1.942 seconds ahead of Marlar. McCreadie, who entered the event leading Sheppard by 100 points stretched his lead out in the race for a dirt late model record $150,000-to-win points championship. "Hats off to the track prep guys, they did an amazing job tonight. They didn't have it completely flooded, they had a hard base, and it built a big cushion and left some brown on the bottom so we could do what we love to do. That's the most fun I have had in a car in three or four months. Hope the crowd liked it, it was an awesome time out here." "I followed Ricky for a little while and it was very beneficial to not lead early. They were stuck in their groove and I'm touching it in one and two and coming to the bottom off two. I was kind of flirting around in three and four to see what would work best for me and when we caught some traffic, I just think I was a little more maneuverable than the guys I was racing with at the time. Tonight was one of those nights I felt like we had everything clicking," said the 48-year-old New York racer. Marlar kept an impressive streak of top five finishes since last month as the veteran racer from Tennessee came home runner-up earning the hard charger of the race after starting on the outside of the sixth row. "It was a great racetrack. I am happy to be here in South Dakota in the middle of the week getting to race. We were able to roll the hub all night long. I moved out and ran the cushion a few laps up there. But I felt like I was down there where there was less traffic. Just running up front it's fun to be in the race and sometimes when you're running 10th or 15th you don't really feel like you're in the race." Erb led 12 of the 40 laps to finish the night out on the podium in third. "This is a great racetrack; it was a lot of fun. It was an awesome race. This is a beautiful facility and a beautiful racetrack. This is literally one of the favorite racetracks now. You can't ask for much more here. Hopefully everyone here will tell a friend and bring more people next time."

  Midwest Mods driver Ferrara ready to experience new Field of Dreams at Lucas Oil Speedway's Midweek Madness

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 19, 2022) - Once a professional baseball prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system, Anthony Ferrara got to pitch at one of the Ozarks' top sports venues at Hammons Field as a member of the Springfield Cardinals. On Wednesday night, Ferrara will compete on a different kind of field of dreams. Ferrara, a baseball player-turned dirt-track racer, will bring his Midwest Mod to Lucas Oil Speedway's Wednesday Night Midweek Madness. He can barely contain his excitement. "That place is unreal," Ferrara said. "It's like playing in Busch Stadium." Midweek Madness will feature divisions that don't normally race at Lucas Oil Speedway to the dirt oval. Joining the Midwest Mods will be Legends, Pure Stocks and USRA Tuners. All four classes will run $300-to-win main events. Ferrara pitched seven seasons in the Cardinals organization, including parts of three for the Double-A Springfield Cardinals. He retired in 2015, just a couple of steps short of reaching the big leagues, but wound up getting married and making Springfield his home. In 2020, he bought his first race car. A racing enthusiast as a kid, Ferrara and his family spent many Saturday nights at the legendary East Bay Raceway near Tampa, Florida, with Anthony sometimes going straight to the speedway in his baseball uniform after games. He raced a go-kart for several years, but when he got serious about baseball as a high schooler, racing went on the backburner. But Ferrara's love for motorsports never waned. When he left pro baseball, racing seemed a natural fit to fuel his competitive spirit. The path to the cockpit opened when Ferrara was giving pitching lessons a few years ago to the son of Dustin Mooneyham, a long-time local racer. Mooneyham encouraged Ferrera to "get a car, man. Just do it." "I was like, I don't know anything about these things, but if you help me I'll get into it," Ferrara said. "Dustin talked me into it and now I'm hooked. I wish I could do it every day." Ferrara was coaching youth travel baseball in 2020 and 2021 and only raced from late summer into the fall. The 2022 season is his first as a weekly racer and he's picked up two Midwest Mod feature wins at Springfield Raceway. "I've done pretty well," he said. "We won last year's Turkey Bowl at Springfield. That was maybe not a shock, but I wasn't expecting it. I've done OK. We've run second the last two weeks and won the week before." Ferrara credits area drivers like Mooneyham, Scott Campbell, Will Vaught and Mike Striegel for giving him the necessary knowledge on prepping the car. He genuinely feels a part of the Ozarks racing family with all the friends he's made. "The racing community is really unique," Ferrara said. "I've learned that everybody is helpful. Everybody talks and helps each other out." Ferrara has been to Lucas Oil Speedway as a spectator, first when Midwest Mods ran as a guest class two years ago and also to view a preliminary night of this year's Show-Me 100. Driving at the speedway is something he's eagerly awaited for a long while. "I don't know of how many dirt tracks that have jumbo trons," he said. "The facilities are so nice. Something so simple that people might not understand, like the concrete pits, I'm so excited for that. I won't have to be rolling around in mud trying to change and make adjustments. "My wife, whole family is going to come. We're pumped for it." He's not sure how his car or his driving skills will translate to a track he's never driven on. Setting up the car will be like putting together an unfamiliar puzzle. "It looks bigger from when I went and watched as a spectator," he said in comparing Lucas Oil Speedway to Springfield Raceway. "I don't know what the gearing is going to be like. I've been trying to get some feedback. I've asked about everybody I could. Springfield looks more banked. "I'm just going to show up and hope I'm close." Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7. Wednesday admission prices: Advance Discount Tickets online only (16 and up) - $12 Adults (16 and up) - $15 Seniors/Military (62 and up) - $12 Youth (6-15) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass $35 (Two adults and up to three youth) Pit Pass - $30 Racing fans have plenty to choose from this week at Lucas Oil Speedway this week, beginning with a special Wednesday Midweek Madness program.

  CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT SEASON HITS HALFWAY MARK SATURDAY

  (Torrance, CA, July 18, 2022) The California Lightning Sprint Car Series will hit the halfway point of its 28th season this Saturday night, July 23rd, when it visits Jim Naylor's Ventura Raceway. The race will be the third in a row for the CLS on its home track in 2022. It will also be the sixth of seven races on the 1/5 mile oval this year. The first half of the season has been highly competitive for the CLS. The first ten races of the year have seen four different drivers lead the championship point standings. Currently on top of the heap is defending series champion David Gasper of Santa Barbara. It took the 16-year-old until the race at Ventura two weeks ago to capture the point lead for the first time in 2022. He goes into Saturday's race with a narrow 17-point advantage over Palmdale's Eric Greco. Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer currently sits third and trails Greco by 18 points. The fourth spot in the championship standings belongs to Camarillo's Cody Nigh. Five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills currently sits fifth. In addition to four drivers leading the championship standings in the first 10 races of the year, five different drivers have been to victory circle. Once again, Gasper who drives the Kittle Motorsports #18, leads the way with five victories. The only other driver with more than one win on the year is San Diego's, AJ Bender. Greco, Michnowicz, and lakeside's Grant Sexton have one win each. 292306869_3146664285584899_2796833742840871257_n.jpg David Gasper leads the CLS point standings and also leads the series in wins with five. CLS photo. Gasper, who got off to an up and down start to the season blowing up in the first race of the year, winning the second, and blowing up again in the third, has won four of the last seven races including the last three in a row and the last two at Ventura. In the battle for Rookie of the Year, Glendora's Will Browne, who missed the last race while his engine was being repaired, currently leads Bakersfield's Connor Speir by 108 points. They are currently ranked sixth and seventh in the overall championship standings going into Saturday's race at "The Best Little Dirt Track in America." A healthy 47 cars have raced with the CLS this year and the average car count is 15.1. The Bakersfield Speedway has the highest average count with 16.5 cars showing up at the first four races there. The Kern County oval hosted the largest CLS car count of the season when 22 cars appeared at the March 25th race that also featured the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. The CLS will be joined by the VRA Sprint Cars, Senior Sprints, Dwarf Cars, Hobby Stocks, WMR Midgets, and Kid's Classes on Saturday. Adult tickets are $18.00. Seniors 60 & over, military with id, and students with id get in for $15.00. Children 12 and under, who are accompanied by an adult, are free. Spectator gates will open at 3:00 p.m. and the first race will be at 5:30. The Ventura Raceway is located on the Ventura County Fairgrounds at 10 W. Harbor Boulevard (93001).

  Teves Wins Dwarf Car Nationals At Antioch Speedway, Endicott, Reeder, Brown, Corn Other Winners

  Antioch, CA...July 16...Adam Teves won the 30 lap Pro Dwarf Car Main Event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. This was the second night of the WSDCA Dwarf Car Nationals, hosted by the Delta Dwarf Car Association. It was also the biggest win of Adam's career. He raced at Antioch in Dwarf Cars and Wingless Spec Sprints prior to moving to Nevada Southern California Dwarf Car star Tommy Velasquez III led a lap before Michael Tobiason took over. Delta Dwarf Car point leader Danny Wagner took second on a Lap 5 restart, but Velasquez came back strong with an inside pass in Turn 4 on Lap 7. The tenacious Wagner went high in Turn 2 on Lap 11 to regain second. A high move in Turn 2 of the 14th lap put Wagner into the lead as Teves gained third. Teves settled into second on Lap 17 and made an inside pass in Turn 2 on Lap 22 to grab the lead from Wagner. Teves set a rapid pace and brought it home to the satisfying win, followed by Wagner, Tobiason, Velasquez and Dylan Shrum. Dan Brown Jr won the Xtreme Scaffolding Limited Late Model Main Event. Previous winner Dan Jinkerson set the early pace ahead of Matt Micheli and Brown. By the 10th lap, Jinkerson held a straightaway advantage over Micheli, and a low pass in Turn 4 of the 12th lap put Brown into second. Anthony Slaney moved into third on Lap 14 before a yellow flag waved for debris on the track. On the restart, Brown began to pressure Jinkerson. The final few laps were intense. Exiting the final turn, Brown made it a side-by-side battle with Jinkerson to the line. Jinkerson appeared to beat Brown by inches. However, placement of the timing devices in the two cars indicated that Brown finished ahead of Jinkerson. Anthony Slaney was a close third, followed by Josh Combs and Micheli. Merced Speedway star Garrett Corn won his second-straight 20 lap IMCA Stock Car Main Event. When Fred Ryland drew the pole in the redraw, it was assumed that he would charge into the lead. However, Susanville star Craig Nieman led a lap before a low pass in Turn 4 gained Corn the lead. Ryland surrendered third to Steven Johnson on Lap 7 as Corn led the way. Scott Foster spun in Turn 4 for a Lap 8 yellow flag. Corn continued to lead Nieman on the restart, but Johnson took second on the 10th circuit. The tenacious Nieman regained the runner-up spot on Lap 14, but he was unable to mount a challenge on Corn, who scored the victory. Ryland made a late move around Johnson for third as point leader Travis Dutra ended up fifth. Kinser Endicott picked up the win in the 20 lap Sportsman Dwarf Car Main Event. Cody Shrum took the early lead ahead of Endicott and Isaak Geil. They ran that way until contact in Turn 2 saw Endicott take the lead from Shrum on Lap 11. Justin Bingman rolled in Turn 4 for a Lap 12 red flag. Endicott led the restart ahead of Brenden Shrum and Friday night winner Joey Bohard. They would finish that way at the checkered flag as Geil settled for fourth ahead of Teagan Fischer. National Veteran Dwarf Car point leader Mike Reeder backed up his Friday night win with a victory in the time-limit shortened 10 lap Veteran Dwarf Car Main Event. Reeder led from the outset ahead of Mark Biscardi and Ronnie Williams. A yellow flag waved on Lap 3 for David Rosa, and Reeder led Williams and Biscardi on the restart. Biscardi gained second on a Lap 5 restart, but a yellow flag waved on Lap 10 for Scotty Preast and Kevin Miraglio in Turn 3. After a crash botched the first restart attempt, Reeder led Biscardi and Williams on the next restart, only to have Stacy Woods crash in Turn 2 to end the race at that point. Glenn Sciarani and David Rosa rounded out the Top 5 at the finish. Racing resumes next Saturday night with the IMCA Modifieds back in action along with the IMCA Sport Modifieds, Wingless Spec Sprints, Pacific Coast General Engineering Hobby Stocks and Mini Stocks.

Around 30 Legend cars are expected from at least seven states, said Legend cars driver and parts dealer for the class, which is intended to have all the cars built and powered identically.

  NARC SET TO SALUTE SERIES LEGEND AT STOCKTON DIRT TRACK

  (7/18/2022) Sacramento, CA... This weekend the NARC Fujitsu General Sprint Cars will honor one of the best to ever compete with the Northern Auto Racing Club as Stockton Dirt Track hosts the Salute to LeRoy Van Conett. Before Brent Kaeding became the man to beat with NARC, Van Conett, nicknamed The Dragon from Galt, held that title for nearly two decades. Over a 16-year period (1969-1984), The Dragon claimed all eight of his series titles, which still ranks second all-time, and dozens of victories. Saturday's racing represents a tip of the cap to the West Coast legend. Van Conett will be on hand to take in the racing on Saturday and give fans an opportunity to get an autograph or a photo with the eight-time NARC champion. The Stockton stop will be the second of a series-high four for NARC in 2022 with the remaining pair of trips set for August 27th and November 5th. Saturday's Fujitsu Feature will award a stout $6,000 to the winner. Joining the NARC 410 Sprint Cars this weekend will be the Tri-State Pro Stocks and California Hardtops. Championship Chase Dominic Scelzi continues to lead the standings, but for the first time all season Willie Croft cut a good chunk of the deficit off. Croft came home seventh at the Howard Kaeding Classic while a cut tire for Scelzi resulted in him finishing 18th. Croft also earned Fast Time at the HK, giving him an extra point and chopping off a total of 12 markers from Scelzi's advantage. The gap between the two is down to 32 points. Behind the top-two, Justin Sanders' Howard Kaeding Classic win propelled him onto the standings podium. He's now in third slightly ahead of Bud Kaeding, and a little further back is Mitchell Faccinto completing the top-five. Who to Watch The last two series champions, Fresno's Dominic Scelzi and Hanford's D.J. Netto, will be a pair to keep an eye on. The defending titlist, Dominic Scelzi, owns a trio of NARC victories at Stockton, most recently pocketing $6,000 in last August's Champions Classic. The Dominator has also shown consistency at the San Joaquin County oval. Excluding a lone DNF, Scelzi's last five series starts at Stockton have yielded three podiums, a 3.2 avg. finish, and no result worse than fifth. D.J. Netto is always a threat when he signs in at Stockton. The 2019 champion had an incredible streak ended at this year's season opener hosted by the 3/8ths mile. Leading into that race back in April, Netto had nine straight top-four series finishes at Stockton, so he'll look to start another impressive streak Saturday. Another noteworthy number is that eight of Netto's 26 career podiums (31%) have come at the Central Valley facility. Fremont's Shane Golobic is Stockton's all-time leader in sprint car victories. While a majority of those victory lane trips have been outside of NARC action, he does own a pair of 410 triumphs with NARC. Two-time series champion, Tim Kaeding, will look to add to his current tally of 72 career NARC victories at a track that's been very kind to him. In eleven series starts at Stockton, the San Jose wheelman has picked up a pair of wins, notched six podiums, and only missed the top-10 once. TK also owns an impressive seven top-10s in nine Stockton features with the World of Outlaws. Bud Kaeding will continue to try and end his winless drought at a track where he's found success. The Campbell driver's most recent series win came at Stockton in August of 2019, and he won a NARC show there in 2016. In his last 45 series events Kaeding has stood on the podium in eight of them just not on the top step, a streak he hopes ends Saturday. Other drivers expected to compete include Hanford's Mitchell Faccinto, Colfax's Willie Croft, Benicia's Billy Aton, Sebastopol's Joel Myers Jr., Redding's Max Mittry and more. Fan & Competitor Info The NARC-King of the West Hoosier Tire format will feature ARP Fast Time Qualifying, 8-lap Heat Races, a 6-lap Sunnyvalley Bacon Trophy Dash, and the Fujitsu General USA 30-lap Feature. The pit gate will open at 3:00 P.M. with the front gate following at 5:00 P.M. Racing is scheduled to begin around 7:00 P.M. General Admission tickets will be $25. Kids (ages 5-12), seniors (ages 65+), and military with valid ID will be admitted for $20. Kids 4 and under are free.

  Johnny Scott Gets Biggest Win of His Career in Diamond Nationals Victory

  Wheatland, MO (July 16, 2022) - Johnny Scott led all but the first lap in picking up the biggest win of his career on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The 32-year-old New Mexico native scored the $15,000 win in the 16th Annual CMH Diamond Nationals. The event was co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. Scott, who entered the race tied with Chad Simpson atop the MLRA points now stands all alone before the series heads to Moberly, MO on Sunday. The 50-lap main event ran caution-free and took just 14 minutes and 32 seconds to complete. Jimmy Owens, who has been to victory lane at Lucas Oil Speedway eight times in his career had a shot at Scott in the closing laps but came up just short of his fifth career Diamond Nationals victory. Brandon Sheppard also made a late-race charge to come home in third. Mark Burgtorf in his first appearance this year with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series finished in fourth followed by pole-sitter Kyle Strickler who was fifth at the finish. Owens led the first lap before Scott bolted to the lead on the second circuit getting by the four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion. Owens and Strickler had an excellent race for second as those two drivers went back-and-forth for the spot with Owens getting to second in the last six laps of the race. Owens brought Sheppard with him, rapidly closing in on Scott towards the end of the race. Just as Owens looked like he would have a shot he ran into some difficulty with traffic that forced him to change his line and Scott slipped away from him for the win. For Scott it was his third win of the season at the "Diamond of Dirt Tracks" and his fifth of the season with the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. "I was just trying to maintain my lead through lapped traffic. I knew I needed to get around those guys and I also knew the top just wasn't there. I thought if I could run my lines and stay consistent, I thought I could hold them off. I knew they were right there. It worked out for us, thanks to my brother (Stormy Scott) and his crew without them none of this would be possible either; they help me a ton on this car. I am glad we could finally put it all together tonight." Owens made up several car lengths in the closing laps coming up just short of his fourth Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of 2022 as he finished 0.679 seconds behind the race winner. "We were just moving around; the bottom was so dominant all race long. It was really surprising, it's usually not like that. We were just trying to get around lapped cars and I saw Johnny wasn't pulling those guys and I couldn't really pass them. I thought heck I would get up there and try the top, I just got up there about three or four laps too late. Johnny's been good here the last several times he's been here. Hats off to those guys they deserve a good win." Sheppard with his third-place finish closed the championship points race as he now sits just 100 points behind Tim McCreadie before the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series heads to Huset's Speedway in Brandon, SD on Tuesday night for the first time. "The track slowed down a lot there at the end. We were able to move out on the racetrack some. It was a solid night for us. I couldn't ask for much more than that. Obviously we wanted to win. The car was really good hopefully we can keep this momentum going and carry into next week. I am looking forward to coming back, the track was awesome you couldn't ask for much more than that." The winner's Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Mesilla Valley Transportation, Rancho Milagro Racing, Eagle Moon Hemp Farms and Lab, Big Deal Car Care, Ed and Trudy Healy, Penske Racing Shocks, Simpson Race Products, Swift Springs, Top of the World Ranch, Slicker Graphics, and Race Ranch Clothing Company. Completing the top ten were Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, Earl Pearson Jr., Spencer Hughes, and Daulton Wilson.

  Johnny Scott shines, hangs on late to capture 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals at Lucas Oil Speedway

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 16, 2022) - Johnny Scott took command on lap two of the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment and never gave up the lead - even as four-time race winner Jimmy Owens made a frantic late charge. It was enough to make Scott plenty anxious, with Owens closing in and with lapped traffic to navigate on the final circuit around Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night. But Scott, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, held on to beat Owens by .678 seconds in a caution-free 50 laps that clicked past in just 14 minutes, 32 seconds. Scott, a one-time nationally renowned Modified ace, earned $15,000 and a diamond ring for the biggest victory of his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA career. "It's a heck of a night," Scott said in victory lane. "I've been trying so hard to win these Lucas Oil races. It just feels good to get one." Brandon Sheppard rallied late to finish third with Mark Burgtorf fourth in his first appearance at Lucas Oil Speedway. Strickler slipped over the last two laps and finished fifth in the quickest Diamond Nationals in terms of elapsed time. Scott earned an MLRA Spring Nationals feature win at Lucas Oil Speedway and the Tribute to Don and Billie Gibson during Memorial Day Weekend, a preliminary to the Show-Me 100. The Diamond Nationals triumph marked his fifth Lucas Oil MLRA victory of the season and gave him back the series points lead. It did get a little nerve-wracking near the end as Owens, who's also a four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series champ, made it interesting. "My stick guy was telling me they were coming," Scott said of the final two laps. "I knew they were right there. It worked out for us, that's all I can say. I just have to thank all my crew. Without them none of this would be possible, and my sponsors. "Everybody at Longhorn (chassis) and my brother (Stormy), without them none of this would be possible. They help me a ton on this car. I'm just glad we could put it all together." Third-starting Owens, of Newport, Tennessee, got a great run at the start and had the lead after one lap, but it was Scott moving from fifth to first by lap two. He would lead Owens as the duo entered lapped traffic until Kyle Strickler slipped past Owens and into the runner-up spot on lap 22. From there, Scott's lead peaked at 2.09 seconds by lap 35 as the leaders continued to work slower traffic. Scott had a difficult time for several laps getting past his brother, Stormy, along with Logan Martin and Tyler Erb and that allowed Strickler and Owens to gain ground. Owens regained second by lap 45 and continued to cut into the margin, trying to work the high side as Scott maintained his line and said tried to stay consistent. "We were just moving around," Owens said. "The bottom was so dominant the whole race. It's usually not like that. We were just trying to get around lapped cars. I just got up about three or four laps too late. "I had the opportunity to win the race. I just slipped up off the bottom and let Johnny get by me. I knew he was going to be tough to beat. He's been good here the last several times he's been here. Hats off to those guys. They deserve a good win." Sheppard called his third-place run solid with his car finding its best footing near the end. "It (the track) slowed down there at the end and we were able to move out on the race track some. It was a solid night for us. Obviously we wanted to win, but the car was really good and we had a solid night. Hopefully we can carry some of this momentum into the next couple of weeks." Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Tim McCreadie finished sixth. Johnny Scott had the fast overall qualifying lap in time trials - which started about an hour later than planned due to a late-afternoon rain shower - at 14.762 seconds in Group A. Spencer Hughes had fast time in Group B at 15.059. A total of 35 Late Models entered the Diamond Nationals, one more than in 2021. Hudson O'Neal, who won the first two legs of the weekend tour at I-70 Speedway and Tri-City Speedway, wound up 11th after starting 18th. Johnson rolls to USRA Modified victory: Matt Johnson of Adrian captured his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win of the Lucas Oil Speedway season in five attempts, leading all 20 laps. He finished 3.2 seconds in front of Dustin Hodges. Johnson started on the pole and immediately grabbed command, running off to a four-second lead over Hodges nine laps into the event. But a caution wiped out that big margin and bunched the field for a restart. Once again, Johnson exerted his dominance and drove off to win by nearly a straightaway margin as the final 11 laps went without a caution. Along with his two wins, Johnson has three other top-four finishes at the speedway this season. Hodges edged Robbie Reed, track champ in 2019 and 2020, for second. Reigning points champ and 2022 championship leader Dillon McCowan wound up fourth and Nic Bidinger was fifth. "This track is amazing right now," Johnson said. "I'm blessed to have my family with me tonight and I couldn't be happier. "I was worired about my tires sealing over and I tried not to run too hard. But hats off to Scott Bailey Racing Engines and Tommy McCoy has this MB Customs on a rail." USRA Stock Cars win to Willie: Dean Willie earned his second O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win of the season, holding off William Garner by one car length. Willie, of Warresnburg, started fifth and he took over the lead from Rodney Schweitzer coming off turn two on lap four. But Schweitzer used the inside groove to regain the top spot the next time around. The order stayed that way until they flipped positions again on lap 13 as Willie edged by and William Garner was right behind the top two. Garner advanced into second on lap 16 and pressured Willie the rest of the way, but could not get by. Willie prevailed by .341 seconds. It was Garner's second straight runner-up feature finish. "We were just a little bit tight tonight," Willie said of the car, "but we figured out enough to make it happen. Somebody was there on me and got me plumb sideways on that last lap. That's racing. It made it fun. We were tight at the end and causing me to be higher on corner exit than I wanted to be." Schweitzer finished third with Ed Griggs fourth and Robert White taking fifth.

  Hudson O'Neal Continues Lucas Oil Series Hot Streak at Tri-City Speedway

  Granite City, IL (July 15, 2022) - Hudson O'Neal continued his successful run in the month of July in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series by winning the NAPA Know How 50 on Friday night at Tri-City Speedway. O'Neal has now won three series events in the last eight days to go along with his victories at Davenport, IA on July 6 and Thursday night at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO. O'Neal went toe-to-toe with Spencer Hughes early in the race until taking the lead for good on the 11th lap after an exciting lead swapping battle with Hughes. O'Neal, who started third led the rest of the way for the victory. Current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader Tim McCreadie finished in second followed by Jimmy Owens, Tyler Erb, and Brandon Sheppard. O'Neal took the lead on the opening lap from his inside row two starting spot. O'Neal led the first three circuits until Hughes, who started on the outside of the front row took over the lead, but it was short lived as O'Neal retook the point on lap six and led the rest of the way. Erb got by Hughes to run in second for several laps until McCreadie got by him on lap 37. McCreadie closed the gap on O'Neal in lapped traffic, but O'Neal held off the reigning series champion for the 16th career series victory for the 21-year-old Indiana native. O'Neal was joined in victory lane by his team and family as he celebrated his win in the first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series race at Tri-City since 2020. "This is awesome to go back-to-back with the year we have had. It's pretty cool. I just told myself before it went green, I was going to give this bottom a good shot. I then rolled to the lead on the bottom and then Spencer gave me a good run up there. I was just trying to stay calm and make sure I hit my marks down there. I was hoping that the bottom was going to prevail. Thank you to the Gundaker family and everybody for an awesome facility here at Tri-City. This place races cool every time we come here." McCreadie with his second-place finish will maintain the series point lead heading into the series' next event on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. "I tried once on the outside to pass him (O'Neal) and lost some spots. I wanted to get to the bottom quicker, but I just got stuck up there and couldn't. We have a second-place car tonight. Give Tyler (Erb) credit he was giving it his all on the top and that's all you can ask of us drivers is to do our best. My hats off to Hudson and those guys I know they work hard, and I appreciate my guys as hard as they work as well." Owens, who ran second to O'Neal on Thursday night at I-70 rounded out the podium. "I have just got to thank Becky and Dereck Ramirez and the guys. We keep getting the car a little better maybe we will get it into victory lane a little more consistently. I just wanted it to stay green tonight. We were throwing crumbs up there. It was cleaner on the bottom, and it made it hard to run the high side." The winner's Roger Sellers/Double Down Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, O'Neal's Salvage, Lucas Oil Products, Smoky Mountain Speedway, WR1 Sim Chassis, VP Fuels, Integra Racing Shocks, and Dynamic Drivelines.

  O'Neal Wins at I-70 in Inaugural Lucas Oil Visit

  Odessa, MO (July 14, 2022) - Hudson O'Neal inherited the lead when race leader Brandon Sheppard suffered mechanical issues heading to the white flag on Thursday night at I-70 Speedway. Sheppard brought out the last caution of the race as he slowed on the main straightaway. The lap 28 Stop Tech caution set up a green-white-checkered finish in the inaugural visit by the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA Series (co-sanctioned). O'Neal led the last two laps for the win. Jimmy Owens got around current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series point leader Tim McCreadie on the final restart to finish in the runner-up position. McCreadie came home in third followed by Kyle Strickler and Ricky Thornton Jr. Owens jumped to lead around Sheppard on the opening lap in a race that was shortened to 30 laps from its originally scheduled 40 laps due to high engine temperatures and air temperatures which reached over 100 degrees during the day. Owens led the first 11 circuits before Sheppard assumed command, but a fateful lap 28 ended his hopes for his seventh series win of the season. "I don't really know what happened yet, we haven't assessed the damages," stated Sheppard. "We know the motor let go we just don't know why. We were all running really hot out there. As hard as we were running it's definitely disheartening. We had a really fast race car all night long and for it to end like that is disappointing for sure." In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in eight days and for the 15th time in his career the 21-year-old Indiana native felt bad for Sheppard who held a three-car length lead over O'Neal as the two headed to the white flag. "You just hate to win one like that, I think we were going to run first and second there. I would rather be lucky than good any day. We had a strong night all night long; we qualified good, heat raced good had a really good piece there in the feature. I am just so proud of my guys, and I am glad everyone is here this weekend." Owens who was seeking his fourth series win of the year and the 81st of his career with the series came up 0.562 seconds short of O'Neal at the finish. "We had a good car the whole time. I kind of assumed that high side was going to come in a little bit, but I didn't know it was going to come in that good. We were just running wide open around there without even lifting. I was able to maneuver down there and keep up with those guys." McCreadie will maintain the series point lead heading to the next series stop in Granite City, Illinois on Friday night. "On a track like tonight when the water temps are going way up, I have just got to pick my battles out there. I figured on the last restart we needed to be one better and Jimmy got by us. As far as the points stuff it's still so earlier, it's mid-July there's a long way to go." The winner's Roger Sellers/Double Down Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by Cornett Racing Engines and sponsored by Lazyday's RV, O'Neal's Salvage and Recycling, Lucas Oil Products, Smoky Mountain Speedway, WR1 Sim Chassis, Integra Racing Shocks, and Dynamic Drivelines.

  SHANE SEXTON BACK ON TRACK AT WASHINGTON'S CLAY CUP THIS WEEK

  (Warner Springs, CA, July 14, 2022) For the first time since Memorial Day weekend, "Shugah" Shane Sexton returns to action this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 14th through the 16th, at the IBEW/NECA Clay Cup at Everson, Washington's Deming Speedway. Sexton is one of two California racers entered in the prestigious event that also features drivers from the state of Washington and the province of British Columbia in Canada. 285363015_10228039959248309_6776080178909825202_n.jpg Shane Sexton in action at the Central Missouri Speedway in May. Sexton family photo. For his return, Sexton will once again be driving a car owned by Northern Californian's Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull. Sexton's last appearance in their #3F came at the 2nd Annual POWRi Lightning Sprint Car Nationals at the Central Missouri Speedway in May. The first night in the "Show Me State," the recent high school graduate won his heat race from the pole and finished second in the 20 lap main event. 24 hours later he again won his heat race, this time coming from 4th place. The heat race wins and the second-place finish in Friday's main event meant that Sexton would start on the pole and was one of the favorites in Saturday's 30-lap finale. The lineup featured drivers from six states and one Canadian province. The Warner Springs, California teen was making a pass for the lead when the leader chopped down on him and sent him into a tractor tire. Sexton flipped and then was hit at speed by another car who had nowhere to go. Fortunately, the Diablo car he was driving was equipped with a Halo on top of the cage and he escaped injury. However, he ended up with a disappointing 14th place finish. This week's race in Washington will be the 39th running of the Clay Cup. Thursday and Friday will be preliminaries and will be followed by the finale on Saturday. For those not able to be at the 1/6 mile oval located less than an hour south of the Canadian border, the three nights of racing will be shown live on pay-per-view at the following link https://fastfourmedia.com/schedule/#. After Sexton returns from the clay cup, he is going to stay busy racing. On August 6th he will be doing double duty when the Santa Maria Raceway reopens for the first time in more than a year. On that night, the teenage racer will be competing in the Sexton family owned #74 sprint car in the USAC/CRA series. He will also be racing Fonseca's lightning sprint in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series. Two weeks later on August 20th, he will be back in the #74 at Perris Auto Speedway for the annual California Racers Hall of Fame Night. Sexton would like to extend a thank you to Brian Fonseca and Samantha Sproull for the opportunity to wheel their car in Washington and he would like to thank their team sponsors for making it possible. They are the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Foothill Tractor & Heavy Equipment, KB Rod Benders, and MJK Auto Sales. Sexton and the #74 team wish to extend their thanks to the following 2022 racing season partners. Gas Chassis, Key Brothers Racing, Nita Gatlin, Hugh Jorgan, Mike Pridgeon Racing Engines, AG Sandcars, Powder 1, Ron's Tire and Brake, and Savage Racing.

  Midweek Madness coming to Lucas Oil Speedway next Wednesday, featuring different types of cars than normal

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 14, 2022) - Some different types of cars than normal will be in action at Lucas Oil Speedway in a special Wednesday Night Midweek Madness program next week. Legend cars, Pure Stocks, Midwest Mods and USRA Tuners are scheduled for the week-night show. All four classes will run $300-to-win main events. "We're looking forward to seeing how this goes as we wanted to give some drivers and classes who don't normally get a chance to race here an opportunity," Lucas Oil Speedway General Manager Danny Lorton said. One class that could be particularly intriguing is the Legends, which are scaled-down versions of 1934 or '37 Fords or '37 Chevrolets, coupes or sedans. The cars may look similar to some of the Vintage cars that have competed at Lucas Oil Speedway, but they are different. "These cars are made to be equal," said Dave Comer of Joplin, who races and is parts dealer for the cars. "It comes down to set-up or driver. Nobody is gonna out-money you. Every part you put on is the same as the other guy's got." To give fans a frame of reference on the speedway the Legend cars carry, Comer said the Legends typically will get around the track about one second slower than USRA B-Mods. Comer said he's estimating about 30 Legend cars to enter, with drivers from at least seven states. Included is an expected entry from Keelan Harvick, 10-year-old son of NASCAR star Kevin Harvick. Pits and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05. Wednesday Admission prices: Advance Discount Tickets online only (16 and up) - $12 Adults (16 and up) - $15 Seniors/Military (62 and up) - $12 Youth (6-15) - $5 Kids (5 and under) - FREE Family Pass $35 (Two adults and up to three youth) Pit Pass - $30 CMH Diamond Nationals this Saturday: The 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals headline this Saturday's action with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil MLRA drivers chasing the $15,000 first prize and a diamond ring.

  GASPER WINS THIRD STRAIGHT CALIFORNIA LIGHTNING SPRINT MAIN

  (Torrance, CA, July 12, 2022) The hottest lightning Sprint car driver in the nation, David Gasper, took the lead with two laps to go and raced to the win in the California Lightning Sprint Car Series main last Saturday night at the Ventura Raceway. The triumph was the teenager's third in a row and series-leading fifth win of 2022. In addition, it allowed the 2021 series champion to take the lead in the point standings for the first time this year. 292337107_3146787982239196_4999241284313038673_n.jpg Winner Gasper is in the middle. Second place finisher Michnowicz is on the right and 3rd place finisher Dyer is on the left. CLS photo. Twelve CLS cars made the trek to the famous 1/5 of a mile oval that is located next to the beach on the Ventura County Fairgrounds. The first order of business was time trials. Palmdale's Eric Greco, who came into the night leading Gasper by four points in the standings, topped the chart in West Evans Motorsports Qualifying with a lap of 12.211. It was Greco's series-leading fourth fast time of the 2022 campaign. Gasper was second quickest when he stopped the clocks at 12.241 and Yucca Valley's Jeff Dyer was third at 12.255. A pair of eight-lap heat races preceded the main event. "Rockstar" Jon Robertson of Torrance won his first heat of the year in the Extreme Muffler Heat Race #1 when he beat Ventura local Robb Pelmear and Greco to the Chris Kornder checkered flag. Gasper, who calls Santa Barbara home, won the Yoshimura R&D Heat Race #2 over rookie Connor Speir of Fillmore, and five-time series champion Bobby Michnowicz of Oak Hills. It was Gasper's second heat race triumph of the year. When the cars rolled through the pit gate for the 25-lap main event, Michnowicz and Dyer lined up in row one. The second row featured Robertson and Pelmear with young gassers Greco and Gasper in row three. Veteran Michnowicz, whose lone win this year came at Ventura on April 30th, raced into the lead on the start ahead of Dyer. Before the field exited turn two on the opening circuit, Gasper, in the Kittle Motorsports/Certified Construction/Rattlesnake Ridge/Valley Precision Products/Martin Roofing/B2 Design/Hyper Race Cars/Saldana Race Products #18, drove by Pelmear for third. Things stayed tight with Michnowicz about two car lengths ahead of Dyer at the end of the second lap. By the end of the fifth go around, the leader had expanded his advantage to approximately 5 car lengths. However, the size of that advantage seesawed back and forth several times in the early going. And the same with third place Gasper. The teenager would close on Dyer one lap and on the next lap he would lose some ground. Things remained status quo up front until lap nine when Michnowicz was slowed by a lapped car. That allowed Dyer to close to the leader's rear end. Once the two leaders negotiated their way by the lapper, the same car momentarily slowed third place Gasper. The race returned to its normal pace until lap 19 when things started to get very interesting. Michnowicz was again slowed by a lapped car, and Dyer and Gasper closed in. On lap 21, the same lapped car and the lead trio came up on a pack of other lapped cars in turn one. The lapper was the first to get past the pack. Michnowicz and Dyer hit the corner nose to tail on the edge of the cushion, leaving the bottom wide open. Seeing that, Gasper bolted to the inside and raced by Dyer for second. Once past Dyer, Gasper glued himself to Michnowicz' rear. Michnowicz could not get away as he was still being impeded by the same lapped car. As they completed lap 23, Gasper went to the outside of Michnowicz. They battled side by side through one and two and came off the corner with the same lapped car just in front of them. Michnowicz stayed on the bottom and Gasper knifed his way in between the leader in the lapped car thrilling the crowd as they sped toward turn three, three abreast. The two leaders finally shook off the lapped car and continued to race side by side into three and all the way through turn four. Gasper planted his right rear on the edge of the cushion coming off four and rocketed into the lead as they took the white flag. When they got to turn one on the final go around, Gasper turned to the inside forcing Michnowicz to tap on the binders. That sewed up the win for the defending series champ as he pulled away coming off turn two. When they crossed the line in the race that went green to checkers uninterrupted, it was Gasper for the win by three car lengths. Michnowicz was second with Dyer right behind him in third. Pelmear placed fourth with Greco fifth. In addition to winning the main and taking the point lead, Gasper also received the SpeedMart, Advanced Racing Suspension, Hepfner Racing Hard Charger Awards which equal to $100.00 in product certificates. After Saturday's race, Gasper, who was crowned the 2021 series Rookie of the Year as well as winning the championship, has a 17-point lead over Greco. Dyer stayed third in the standings. Camarillo's Cody Nigh, who missed the race, remains fourth with Michnowicz breaking into the top five for the first time this year. Gasper will attempt to make it four wins in a row in the "Kittle Blue" #18 when the series returns to action at Ventura on July 23rd. CLS officials are still collecting lap money for the August 6th race at the Santa Maria Raceway. If you would like to donate, laps are $50.00 each.

  Lucas Oil Speedway Diamond Nationals Spotlight: Local fan favorite Cornell eager to debut new car

  WHEATLAND, MO. (July 13, 2022) - Local fans could have a renewed reason to cheer one of their favorites Saturday night as Lucas Oil Speedway plays host ot the 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment. Kaeden Cornell, a 21-year-old from Willard who won the speedway's "Most Popular Driver" voting in runaway fashion four seasons in a row (2017-2020) will have a new Black Diamond chassis for the Rick Hoover Motorsports team. Cornell and Hoover were top contenders in the Hermitage Lumber Late Model division while racing weekly at Lucas Oil Speedway before branching out to try the rugged waters of open Late Model racing the last two seasons in the Lucas Oil MLRA Series. "The car K's been driving in a nine-year-old chassis," Hoover said. "We were bringing him up slow to make sure he got comfortable running with these big boys and all. He's there. He was there quite a while ago. But we needed to upgrade the car." Hoover said he spent considerable time during Show-Me 100 weekend at Wheatland visiting with Ronnie Stuckey of Stuckey Enterprises, which builds the Black Diamond chassis out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Hoover said Stuckey talked about the need for younger Late Model drivers in the pipeline as many of the sport's veterans are getting older. "He said, 'I've been watching 'K' quite a while.' I made a deal with him," Hoover said. "I went and got a new Black Diamond and we're gonna get a lot of help from Ronnie. This guy is so smart when it comes to race cars. "We've got the car ready. Everything on it is brand new. We don't have our new motor ready. We're gonna have to run the little one. But that's all right, we'll get him used to the car which won't take long." Cornell, who did manage a sixth-place in an MLRA feature a few weeks ago in Norfolk, Nebraska, is understandably elated. The team plans to break in the car - in the familiar-looking white wrap with blue-and-orange trim - on Thursday night at a combined Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series/Lucas Oil MLRA event at I-70 Motorsports Park in Odessa. "I think we probably have been needing this for a while," Cornell said. "Finances and everything, it took a while to get there. We finally got it and I think it'll be good and at least get us somewhat even with the field. Everyone we're racing against, it's tough. They're on a endless budget and they're all really, really good at what they do. "I'm just thankful for everything Rick's done for me. We've been together five or six years now. There's not a lot of that around here anymore, kids my age that get opportunities like this. I'm super thankful to Rick and everybody who helps me out." While the results haven't always been what he's desired since leaving the weekly racing scene, Cornell said he's learned a lot about the Late Model game. Mainly, he's found out how aggressive one has to wheel the car to keep up - especially against the national-touring series. "I get to line up and race against people I've watched my whole life," Cornell said. "Half the people I race against, I have their t-shirts that I bought when I was a kid." Hoover said the outpouring of support via text message, social media or word-of-mouth since news of the new car was released tells him that Cornell's popularity among the local fans has not waned. "It's unbelievable You wouldn't believe the fans and support, the texts and phone calls," Hoover said. "This kid has so much backing. We're not running much local since we went MLRA, so only chance they get to him race is video. This kid has so much backing it's unreal. He's such a good kid. Very humble." Asked his goals for this weekend and beyond, Cornell said he just hopes "to make Rick look good and Black Diamond to look good." Along with Hoover Motorsports and Black Diamond, team sponsors include DR Racing, Choate Farms, Midwest Sheet Metal, Oil & Octane, Swift Springs, True Form Racing Products, Simpson, Super Moon Graphics, Cloverleaf Auto Repair and Dynamic Drivelines." The Diamond Nationals will award the 50-lap feature winner $15,000 and a diamond ring. Also on the program will by the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds with a $1,000-to-win feature and O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars running for a $750 first prize.
